“As I looked
At the living creatures,
I saw a wheel
On the earth
Beside the living creatures.
There was
One wheel for each
Of the four of them.
The appearance
Of the wheels was
Like the gleaming
Of beryl.
The four wheels
Had the same likeness.
Their construction
Was like a wheel
Within a wheel.
When they moved,
They moved in any
Of the four directions,
Without veering
As they moved.
Their rims
Were tall.
Their rims
Were awesome.
The rims
Of all four wheels
Were full
Of eyes all around.”
Ezekiel explained that he saw four wheels laying on the earth for each of the four living creatures. The appearance of these wheels was like gleaming beryl, some kind of emerald or aquamarine crystal. All of the four wheels looked the same, as they seemed to be like wheels within wheels. They could move in any direction without veering away as they moved. They had tall awesome rims. They had eyes or spokes, as if they were an all seeing creatures.
