Ezekiel 1:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 Their wings were touching one another. The creatures did not turn from side to side as they moved, but each one faced straight ahead.[a]
10 This is what their faces looked like. Each one had a face like a man’s face. On the right side of their heads, all four of them had a face like a lion. On the left side, all four of them had a face like an ox. All four of them also had a face like an eagle. 11 Those were their faces.
Their wings were stretched upward. Each of them had one pair of wings which touched the wings of each of the cherubs next to it and another pair of wings which covered their bodies.

- Ezekiel 1:9 This apparently means that each one of the living creatures that Ezekiel was seeing always remained facing in one of the four directions of the compass. When the platform moved in any direction, the living creature facing that direction served as the driver. The other living creatures did not turn when the platform serving as a chariot headed in a different direction, but they remained facing in their assigned direction.

9 and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.(A)
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.(B) 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings(C) spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body.
