text: That is, the cherubim.


text: The living creature described here is thus slightly different from the one described in Ezek 1:10 , where a bull’s face appeared instead of a cherub’s. Note that some English versions harmonize the two descriptions and read the same here as in 1:10 (cf. NAB, NLT “an ox”; TEV, CEV “a bull”). This may be justified based on v. 22 , which states the creatures’ appearance was the same.
