a likeness of man is to them, 6and four faces are to each, and four wings are to each of them, 7and their feet are straight feet, and the sole of their feet is as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass; 8and hands of man under their wings--on their four sides, and their faces and their wings-- are to them four; 9joining one unto another are their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go. 10As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right are to them four, and the face of an ox on the left are to them four, and the face of an eagle are to them four. 11And their faces and their wings are separate from above, to each are two joining together, and two are covering their bodies. 12And each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round in their going. 13As to the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances are as coals of fire--burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness is to the fire, and out of the fire is going forth lightning. 14And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash. 15And I see the living creatures, and lo, one wheel is in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces. 16The appearance of the wheels and their works is as the colour of beryl, and one likeness is to them four, and their appearances and their works are as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel. 17On their four sides, in their going they go, they turn not round in their going. 18As to their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings are full of eyes round about them four. 19And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels. 20Whither the spirit is to go, they go, thither the spirit is to go, and the wheels are lifted up over-against them, for a living spirit is in the wheels. 21In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels over-against them; for a living spirit is in the wheels. 22And a likeness is over the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as the colour of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above. 23And under the expanse their wings are straight, one toward the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to each are two covering on that side--their bodies. 24And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going--the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let fall their wings. 25And there is a voice from above the expanse, that is above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings. 26And above the expanse that is over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, is the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above. 27And I see as the colour of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness is to it round about. 28As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so is the appearance of the brightness round about.
