'Living Creature' in the Bible

Also out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was how they looked; they had the likeness of a man.

And the likeness of the living creatures: they looked like burning coals of fire; like the appearance of torches. It was continually circling among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

And the living creatures kept running and returning, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

And as I looked at the living creatures, behold, one wheel was on the earth by the living creatures, with its four faces.

And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels went beside them; and in the lifting up of the living creatures from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

Wherever the spirit was to go, there they went; there the spirit was to go, and the wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

In their going, these went; and in their standing still, these stood still. And in their lifting up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

And there was a likeness over the heads of the living creature; an expanse, like the color of awesome crystal stretched out over their heads from above.

I also heard the sound of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and the sound of the wheels along with them, and a sound of a great rushing.

And the cherubs rose up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

When they stood still, these stood still, and when they rose up, these lifted up. For the spirit of the living creature was in them.

This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubs.
