Contextual Overview
8The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings. 9I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl. 10In appearance, all four looked alike, like a wheel within a wheel. 11When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved. But wherever the head faced, they would go in that direction, without pivoting as they went. 12Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, wings, and the wheels that the four of them had, were full of eyes all around. 13As I listened the wheels were called “the wheelwork.” 14Each one had four faces: one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal. 16When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when they lifted their wings to rise from the earth, even then the wheels did not veer away from them. 17When the cherubim stopped, the wheels stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces,.... Or their faces were like the same,
which I saw by the river of Chebar; which prove that the living creatures and the cherubim must be the same:
their appearance and themselves; were exactly the same there was no difference in their faces or in their bodies:
they went everyone straight forward; their motion as well as their form were alike; they kept one even course, looking right on, and their eyes right before them.
