'Four' in the Bible

Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings [thus]:

As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.

Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.

The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.

As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end is come on the four corners of the land.

I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they didn't turn as they went.

Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, [even] the wheels that the four of them had.

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

Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

For thus says the Lord Yahweh: How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil animals, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and animal!
