Ezekiel 10:12
Compare all
10 As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
11 aWhen they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went.  
12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were afull of eyes all around.  
13 As for the wheels, they were called in my1 hearing, “Wheel.”  
14 aEach one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.  
15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was athe living creature I saw by the River Chebar.

Ezekiel 10:12

body—literally, "flesh," because a body consists of flesh.

wheels . . . full of eyes—The description (Ezekiel 1:18) attributes eyes to the "wheels" alone; here there is added, on closer observation, that the cherubim themselves had them. The "eyes" imply that God, by His wisdom, beautifully reconciles seeming contrarieties (compare II Chronicles 16:9; Proverbs 15:3; Zechariah 4:10).
