Ezekiel 10:12

Verse 12 of 22. The 10th of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

8The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.

9I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

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

11When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went.

12Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.

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

14Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.

15The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

16When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.
