8 Under each of their wings, these creatures had a human hand.
9 The four creatures were standing back-to-back with the tips of their wings touching. They moved together in every direction, without turning their bodies.
10 Each creature had the face of a human in front, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of a bull on the left, and the face of an eagle at the back.
11 Two wings of each creature were spread out and touched the wings of the creatures on either side. The other two wings of each creature were folded against its body.
12 Wherever the four living creatures went, they moved together without turning their bodies, because each creature faced straight ahead.
13 The creatures were glowing like hot coals, and I saw something like a flaming torch moving back and forth among them. Lightning flashed from the torch every time its flame blazed up.
14 The creatures themselves moved as quickly as sparks jumping from a fire.
