← Ezekiel 10:20	Ezekiel 10:21 (KJV)	Ezekiel 10:22 →
This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubims.	Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.	And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
