Lit the four of them

Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

Various interpretations have been ascribed to the symbolism of the four heavenly beings. The four faces may be regarded as symbolic of "the four portraits of Jesus" as given in the four Gospels (king, servant, man, and God). Another proposes that they represent the four qualities of the angels (intelligent, strong, servile, and swift). Another interpretation identifies them with the four Gospels, and another with the four corners of the earth, implying that the angels serve God throughout the earth. In ch 10 these beings are identified as cherubim.
