Ezekiel
1 from 4Q74 Ezekielb
10 As for the likeness
of their faces, they had the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a
lion on the right side. The four of them had the face of an ox
on the left side. The four of them also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such
were their faces. Their wings were spread out
above. Two wings of each one touched another,
and two covered their bodies. 12 Each one went
straight forward: where the spirit
was to go, they went. They didn’t turn when they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals
of fire, like the appearance of torches. The
fire went up and down among the
living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.

16 The appearance of the
wheels and their work was like a beryl. The four of them
had one likeness. Their appearance and their work was as it were a
wheel within a wheel. 17 When they went, they
went in their four
directions. They didn’t turn when they went.

19 When the living
creatures went, the wheels went beside them. Then the living creatures were
lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the
spirit was to go, they went. The spirit was to go there.
The wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of
the living creature was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went. When
those stood,
these stood. When those were lifted up from
the earth, the wheels were lifted up
beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like an awesome crystal
to look at, stretched out over their
heads above. 23 Under the expanse, their
wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies on that side.
