Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, there was their spirit to go - i:e., their will was for going wheresoever the spirit was for going, and there they actually went. It is implied that both their actual going, and their spirit or will to go, was wheresoever the spirit was for going.
The wheels were lifted up over against them - rather, lª- beside or in conjunction with them.
The spirit of the living creature - put collectively for "the living creatures;" the cherubim.
