23)[line 10]וחיות הקדשCHAYOS HA'KODESH - the Fearful Beings of the Holy Sanctuary
(a)At the time of the destruction of the first Beis ha'Mikdash, the Shechinah (the presence of HaSh-m) departed from its dwelling place above the Keruvim in the Kodesh ha'Kodashim. At that time, Yechezkel ha'Navi was shown the Ma'aseh ha'Merkavah - the vision of HaSh-m's chariot - for a second time.
(b)Yechezkel saw the throne of HaSh-m supported by four Chayos (angels referred to as "Keruvim"). Each Chayah had the body of a man, and four wings. "And each one had four faces; one face was that of a Keruv, the second face that of a man, the third face that of a lion, and the fourth face that of an eagle" (Yechezkel 10:14). The first time that Yechezkel had seen this vision, the first face of each Chayah was that of an ox. At Yechezkel's behest, HaSh-m changed it to that of a Keruv.
(c)Beside each Chayah was an Ofan - an angel shaped like a wheel (hence the name, "Ofan"). The Ofanim were full of eyes, and they moved together with the Chayos, rolling in whichever direction the Chayos turned without turning around. Additionally, when the Chayos flapped their wings and rose into the air, the Ofanim rose with them. According to the RAMBAM there are ten levels of angels. The most exalted of the angels are the Chayos ha'Kodesh and below them are the Ofanim. The angels of the sixth level are called Mal'achim (see Hilchos Yesodei ha'Torah 2:7).
