Ezekiel

Ezekiel 10:7–13

⁷Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out. ⁸(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)

⁹Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone. ¹⁰As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel. ¹¹When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved.

¹²Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels. ¹³I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
