  • The living creatures, living beings, or hayyot (Hebrew חַיּוֹת ḥayyōṯ) are a class of heavenly beings in Jewish mythology. They are described in the prophet Ezekiel's vision of the heavenly chariot in the first and tenth chapters of the Book of Ezekiel. References to the sacred creatures recur in texts of Second Temple Judaism, in rabbinical merkabah ("chariot") literature, in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, and in the Zohar. According to Jewish and Christian traditions, there are four living creatures, although their description varies by source. The symbolic depiction of the four living creatures in religious art, especially Christian art, is called a tetramorph. (en)
  • 活物（希伯来语：חַיּוֹת）犹太教神秘天使的一个等级，记载在《以西结书》第一章中描述以西结在边见到的战车异象中，环绕神的宝座。 迈蒙尼德将活物列为天使的第一级。 在基督教中，活物被认为是火的天使，支撑神的宝座和大地，因此与基督教撒拉弗同一等级，住在第七层天上。 (zh)
