Ezekiel, Chapter 1, verses 1-21

¹ Now it came about in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles, the heavens were opened and I saw^avisions of God. ² (On the fifth of the month^bin the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile, ³ the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the LORD came upon him.)

⁴ As I looked, behold, a storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire. ⁵ Within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human form. ⁶ Each of them had four faces and four wings. ⁷ Their legs were straight and^ctheir feet were like a calf’s hoof, and they gleamed like burnished bronze. ⁸ Under their wings on their four sides were human hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them, ⁹ their wings touched one another; their faces did not turn when they moved, each went straight forward. ¹⁰ As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man;^dall four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and^eall four had the face of an eagle. ¹¹ Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies. ¹² And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went. ¹³ ^fIn the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire,^glike torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was^hflashing from the fire. ¹⁴ And the living beings ran to and fro like bolts of lightning.

¹⁵ Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings,ⁱfor each of the four of them. ¹⁶ The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like^jsparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if^kone wheel were within another. ¹⁷ Whenever they^lmoved, they^mmoved in any of their fourⁿdirections without turning as they^omoved. ¹⁸ As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes round about. ¹⁹ Whenever the living beings^pmoved, the wheels^qmoved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also. ²⁰ Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction^r. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living^sbeings was in the wheels. ²¹ Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living^tbeings was in the wheels.
