4 As I watched, suddenly a driving storm came out of the north, a great cloud flashing fire, with brightness all around. At its center, in the middle of the fire, there was something like gleaming amber.
5 And inside that were forms of four living creatures. This was what they looked like: Each had the form of a human being,
6 though each had four faces and four wings.

8 Human hands were under their wings on all four sides. All four creatures had faces and wings, and
9 their wings touched each other’s wings. When they moved, they each went straight ahead without turning.
