The spirit within the wheels

9And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like beryl stone.

10As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, as when a wheel is within a wheel.

11When they went, they would go in any of their four directions; they did not turn as they went, for to the place where the head faced, they followed after it; they did not turn as they went.

12And all their bodies, their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels belonging to the four of them.

13As for the wheels, they were called “the whirling wheel” in my hearing.

14And each one had four faces: the face of the first was the face of the cherub, and the face of the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15And the cherubim rose up. They were the living creature that I had seen by the Kebar Canal.

16When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the earth, the wheels also did not turn away from beside them.

17When they stood still, these stood still; and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up with them, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
