Ezekiel 1:4-9

And I saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber. And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them. Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled with the appearance of glowing brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on the four sides. And they had faces with the wings on the four sides. And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
