17They went on their four sides: they turned not as they went;

18neither did their backs turn: and they were high: and I beheld them, and the backs of them four were full of eyes round about.

— Ezekiel 1:19 —

20Wherever the cloud happened to be, there was the spirit ready to go: the wheels went and were lifted up with them; because the spirit of life was in the wheels.

21When those went, the wheels went; and when those stood, the wheels stood; and when those lifted themselves off the earth, they were lifted off with them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
