Ezekiel 1:6 — Meaning and Application

And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness {was} about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. {infolding...: Heb. catching itself}

Also out of the midst thereof {came} the likeness of four living creatures. And this {was} their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

And their feet {were} straight feet; and the sole of their feet {was} like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. {straight...: Heb. a straight foot}

And {they had} the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
