Esekiel 1,13

God's holiness

11 Slik var deres ansikter. Deres vinger var utstrakt oppover; hver hadde to vinger som rørte ved en annen skapning og to som dekket deres kropper.

12 Hver gikk rett frem; hvor ånden ville gå, gikk de, uten å snu seg når de gikk.

Utseendet til de levende skapningene var som brennende kull av ild, som fakler. Ild beveget seg blant skapningene, og lyn blinket fra den.

14 Skapningene fór frem og tilbake som lyn.

15 Mens jeg betraktet de levende skapningene, la jeg merke til et hjul på bakken ved siden av hver skapning med sine fire ansikter.
