יחזקאל, פרק י׳, פסוק י״א

The heavenly chariot possesses a perfect mobility, allowing it to move seamlessly in any direction without ever needing to pivot or shift its stance. Commentators explain that this structure can travel freely to any of its four sides [מצודת ציון, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Because of this multidirectional capability, there is no need for the components to turn themselves around to change their course. Instead, they simply roll and advance directly toward whichever side is required [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ, מצודת ציון].

This continuous motion is always directed by a guiding force. The movement is initiated by a cherub acting as the head or primary driver [מצודת דוד, רד״ק]. Some understand this leader specifically as the front-facing cherub [ביאור שטיינזלץ], while another perspective views this guiding force simply as the first in the sequence of motion [רד״ק]. Whichever direction this leader takes, the wheels instantly follow. They are naturally drawn after the cherub because the living spirit resides within them, allowing the entire structure to travel as one unified entity, continuously moving forward without ever needing to perform a physical turn [מצודת דוד, רד״ק].
