4 As I watched, a great stormwind came from the North, a large cloud with flashing fire, a bright glow all around it, and something like polished metal gleamed at the center of the fire.
5 From within it figures in the likeness of four living creatures appeared. This is what they looked like:
6 They were in human form, but each had four faces and four wings,
7 and their legs were straight, the soles of their feet like the hooves of a bull, gleaming like polished brass.
8 Human hands were under their wings, and the wings of one touched those of another.
9 Their faces and their wings looked out on all their four sides; they did not turn when they moved, but each went straight ahead.
10 Their faces were like this: each of the four had a human face, and on the right the face of a lion, and on the left, the face of an ox, and each had the face of an eagle.
