Ezekiel 10:10

10:10 As for their appearance, all four of them looked the same, something like a wheel within a wheel. ¹ 

Ezekiel 10:14

10:14 Each of the cherubim ²  had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub, ³  the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

Ezekiel 10:21-22

10:21 Each had four faces; each had four wings and the form of human hands under the wings. 10:22 As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose appearance I had seen at the Kebar River. Each one moved straight ahead.

¹ tn Or “like a wheel at right angles to another wheel.” Some envision concentric wheels here, while others propose “a globe-like structure in which two wheels stand at right angles” (L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:33-34). See also 1:16.

² tn Heb “each one”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn The living creature described here is thus slightly different from the one described in Ezek 1:10, where a bull’s face appeared instead of a cherub’s. Note that some English versions harmonize the two descriptions and read the same here as in 1:10 (cf. NAB, NLT “an ox”; TEV, CEV “a bull”). This may be justified based on v. 22, which states the creatures’ appearance was the same.
