Yehezkiel 10:12-14

10:12 along with their entire bodies, ¹  their backs, their hands, and their wings. The wheels of the four of them were full of eyes all around. 10:13 As for their wheels, they were called “the wheelwork” ²  as I listened. 10:14 Each of the cherubim ³  had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub, ⁴  the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

[10:12]  ¹ tc The phrase “along with their entire bodies” is absent from the LXX and may be a gloss explaining the following words.

[10:13]  ² tn Or “the whirling wheels.”

[10:14]  ³ tn Heb “each one”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:14]  ⁴ 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.
