'Four' in the Bible

Deep inside it, the likenesses of four living beings were visible. Their appearances were similar to human forms,

except that they each had four faces, four pairs of wings,

From under their wings there were human hands on their four sides.

Now as to their four faces and four pairs of wings, their pairs of wings overlapped each other. They moved in straight directions without turning their faces around as they moved.

The form of their faces was human, but each of the four also had the face of a lion to the right, the face of an ox to the left, and the face of an eagle behind them.

As I observed the living beings, I noticed one wheel on the earth beside each being that is, for the four of them.

Whenever the four moved, no matter which of four directions, they moved without turning around.

Their wheel rims were ornate and terrifying. They were full of eyes that surrounded the four of them.

"Son of Man, this is what Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: "It's over! All four corners of the land are out of time!

As I continued to watch, I observed four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The wheels resembled beryl stone.

In appearance, the four wheels looked like they consisted of a wheel within a wheel.

Their entire bodies, backs, hands, and wings were filled with eyes around, including each of their four wheels.

Each had four faces. The first one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

Each one had four faces. Each one had four wings, and the form of human hands could be seen under their wings.

This is what the Lord GOD says, "I'm sending four of my most destructive judgments military invasion, famine, wild animals, and pestilence into Jerusalem to destroy both human beings and livestock in it.

The fugitives of his troops will die by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to the four winds. Then you'll know that I, the LORD, have spoken."

Then he ordered me, "Prophesy to the Spirit, Son of Man. Tell the Spirit, "This is what the Lord GOD says: "Come from the four winds, you Spirit, and breathe into these people who have been killed, so they will live."'"

In that way, there were four tables on each side in front of the gate, for a total of eight tables for use in slaughtering the offerings.

There were four tables carved from stone for the burnt offering, each one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high, on which the instruments are laid for slaughtering burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Next, he measured the Temple walls at six cubits high and the width of the side chambers at four cubits around all four sides of the Temple.

He measured a wall that encompassed all four sides, 500 hundred long and 500 wide, dividing between the sacred and common areas.

From the base on the ground to its lower edge is to be two cubits, with its width to be one cubit. From the lesser ledge to the larger edge is to be four cubits. Its width is to be one cubit.

The hearth is to be four cubits high, and four horns are to extend upwards from the hearth.

It is to have a ledge fourteen cubits long by fourteen cubits wide around the four sides. Its border is to be half a cubit and its base is to be a cubit all around, with its steps facing east."

You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of its ledge, and on the border that surrounds it, thus cleansing it and making an atonement for it.

The priest is to place some of the blood from the sin offering on the door posts of the Temple, on the four corners of the ledge around the altar, and on the posts of the gate leading to the inner court.
