7Then the cherub reached out with his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some coals and put them into the hands of the one clothed in linen; and he took them and went out.
8The cherubim appeared to have something like a human hand under their wings.
9Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone.
10And as for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.
11When they moved, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which they faced, without turning as they went.
12And their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were covered with eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.
13The wheels were called, as I heard, the whirling wheels.
14And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a human, the third, the face of a lion, and the fourth, the face of an eagle.
