and their feet were straight feet, - and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, but sparkling, as shining bronze to look upon; and the hands of a man! were under their wings, on their four sides, - and their faces and their wings belonged to the four of them: joined to each other, were their wings, - they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go; and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, - the face of an eagle, also had they four; and their wings were spread above, - two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies; and each one straight before him, did they go, - whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not when they went.
