Ezekiel 10:14

10:14 Each of the cherubim ¹  had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub, ²  the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

Revelation 4:7

4:7 The ³  first living creature was like a lion, the ⁴  second creature like an ox, the third creature had a face like a man’s, and the fourth creature looked like an eagle flying.

¹ tn Heb “each one”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² sn 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.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁴ tn Both here and before the phrase “the third,” καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
