And, looking, I saw a storm wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.

And in the heart of it were the forms of four living beings. And this was what they were like; they had the form of a man.

And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.

And their feet were straight feet; and the under sides of their feet were like the feet of oxen; and they were shining like polished brass.

They went without turning, every one went straight forward.

As for the form of their faces, they had the face of a man, and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four of them had the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel 1:10}

And their wings were separate at the top; two of the wings of every one were joined one to another, and two were covering their bodies.

And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder flames.

Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.
