Ezekiel 1:21-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 Wherever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved; when they stood still, the wheels stood still. When they were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up with them.(A) For the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 [a]Above the heads of the living creatures was a likeness of the firmament; it was awesome, stretching upwards like shining crystal over their heads.(B) 23 Beneath the firmament their wings stretched out toward one another; each had two wings covering the body.
