5 The sound of the winged creatures’ wings could be heard as far as the outer courtyard. It was like the sound of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 When he instructed the man clothed in linen to take fire from between the winged creatures and their wheels, the man went and stood next to the wheel.
7 Then one of the winged creatures stretched a hand between the winged creatures into the fire that was between them, and he drew out some of it and set it in the palm of the one clothed in linen. He took it and went out.
8 It appeared that the winged creatures had the form of a human hand under their wings.
9 Suddenly, I saw four wheels next to the winged creatures. There was a wheel next to each winged creature, and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling topaz.
10 It appeared that there was one shape for all four of them, as if one wheel were inside another.
11 When they moved in any of the four directions, they moved without swerving. Whichever way the leading one faced, they moved in that direction without swerving.
