'Four' in the Bible

And from its midst [was] the likeness of four living creatures, and this [was] their appearance: {a human form},

and {each had four faces}, and {each of them had four wings}.

And under their wings [were] {human hands} on their four sides. And their faces and their wings for the four of them [were as follows]:

And I saw the living creatures, and look! A wheel was on the earth beside {each of the living creatures that had four faces}.

When they moved, they went toward their four sides; they did not {veer at all as they went}.

And their rims {were high and awesome}, and {all four of} their rims [were] full of eyes [all] around.

"And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel: '[The] end comes, the end on the four corners of the land.

And I saw, and look, four wheels beside the cherubim, {one wheel beside each cherub}, and the appearance of the wheels [was] like [the] outward appearance of {turquoise stone}.

Their appearance {was the same for each of the four of them}, as if the wheel was in the midst of a wheel.

{When they went} to the four of their directions [that] they went, they did not change direction {when they went}, for the place [to] which the head turned, they went behind him; they did not change direction at their going.

And {their whole body}, and their rims, and their spokes, and their wings, and the wheels [were] full of eyes [all] around--{the wheels for the four of them}.

And {each one had four faces}; the face of the one [was] the face of a cherub, and the face of the second [was the] face of a human, and the face of the third [was the] face of a lion, and the fourth [was the] face of an eagle.

{Each one had four faces}, and [there were] four wings for each, and [the] likeness of {human hands} [was] under their wings.

{On each side of the gate were four tables}, eight tables [in all], [and] on them they slaughtered [sacrifices].

And he measured the wall of the temple [as] six cubits, and the width of the side room [as] four cubits {all along the outside wall for the temple all around the wall}.

{Toward the four sides} he measured it; [there] [was] a wall for it {all the way around}. [Its] length [was] five hundred [cubits] and [its] width [was] five hundred [cubits], in order to make separation between what is holy and what is common.

And the ledge [was] {fourteen} [cubits] in length with {fourteen} [cubits] [its] width to [all] four of its sides, and a rim [was] all around it of one-half cubit. And the gutter for it [was] a cubit all around, and its steps [were] facing east."
