of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of living creatures, died
Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

The
ophanim or
ofanim, also
Ophde (Hebrew "wheels" אְוּפַּנים; singular
ofan) refer to the wheels seen on Ezekiel's vision of the chariot (Hebrew
merkavah) in
Ezekiel 1:15-21. These are first construed as angels in one of the
Dead Sea scrolls (4Q405), and as a class of
celestial beings in late sections of the
Book of Enoch (61:10, 71:7) where with the
Cherubim and
Seraphim they never sleep, but guard the throne of God.
These "wheels" have been associated with
Daniel 7:9 (mentioned as
gagal, traditionally "the wheels of gagallin", in "fiery flame" and "burning fire") of the four, eye-covered wheels (each composed of two nested wheels), that move next to the winged
Cherubim, beneath the throne of
God. The four wheels move with the Cherubim because the
spirit of the Cherubim is in them
