And whenever the living beings (G)rose from the earth, the wheels rose also. 20 (H)Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction[j]. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living [k]beings was in the wheels. 21 (I)Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living [l]beings was in the wheels.
