Ezekiel 1:8 Context
6And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings. 7And their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calues foot, and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brasse. 8And they had the handes of a man vnder their wings on their foure sides, and they foure had their faces and their wings. 9Their wings were ioyned one to another, they turned not when they went: they went euery one straight forward. 10As for the likenesse of their faces, they foure had the face of a man, and the face of a lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of an oxe on the left side: they foure also had the face of an eagle.
