Ezekiel 1:8

6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.

7 Their¹ legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled ^alike the color of burnished bronze.

8 ^aThe hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings.

9 Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight ^aforward.

10 As for ^athe likeness of their faces, each ^bhad the face of a man; each of the four had ^cthe face of a lion on the right side, ^deach of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, ^eand each of the four had the face of an eagle.

11 Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and ^atwo covered their bodies.

12 And ^aeach one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.
