Ezekiel 1:7

God's holiness

5 and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form,

6 but each had four faces and four wings.

Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, gleaming like polished bronze.

8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four living creatures had faces and wings,

9 and their wings were touching one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.
