Surrounding context
Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each one went straight forward.
As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion on the right side. The four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. The four of them also had the face of an eagle.
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went. They didn’t turn when they went.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. The fire went up and down among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.
The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.
