Ezekiel 10:22

Chebar
God's holiness

20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

21 Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.

Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.
