Ezekiel 1:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And I looked, and behold, a [a]whirlwind came out of the North, a great cloud and a fire wrapped about it, and a brightness was about it, and in the midst thereof, to wit, in the midst of the fire came out as the likeness of [b]amber.
5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of [c]four beasts, and this was their form: they had the appearance of a man,
6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
