Ezekiel 10:14-22

Each living creature had four faces; the first was a cherub’s face, the second a human face, the third a lion’s face, and the fourth an eagle’s face. Then the cherubim rose to the sky. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the River Chebar. When the living creatures moved as a group in any direction, the wheels followed them, and when the living creatures levitated off the ground by spreading their wings, the wheels did not leave their place beside them. When the living creatures stopped, the wheels stopped; when the former rose, the wheels rose with them, since they shared the same living Spirit. Then the dazzling glory of YAHWEH departed from the entrance of the temple and hovered over the living creatures. They spread their wings, and before my eyes, I saw them levitate from the ground, with the wheels spinning beside them. Then they paused at the entrance to the eastern gate of YAHWEH’s temple, with the dazzling glory of the God of Israel shining over them. These were the same living creatures I had seen beneath the throne of the God of Israel by the River Chebar; I knew that they were cherubim. Each had four faces, four wings, and what appeared to be human hands under their wings. Each one moved straight ahead. Their faces were identical to those I had seen by the River Chebar.
