OET (OET-LV) And the living_creature the first was similar to_a_lion, and the second living_creature similar to_a_calf, and the third living_creature having the face as of_a_human, and the fourth living_creature similar to_an_eagle flying.
OET (OET-RV) This first living creature resembled a lion, the second resembled a bull, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth one resembled a flying eagle.
4:7 These four creatures symbolize four types of beings: a lion represents wild animals, an ox represents domesticated animals, a human represents humanity, and an eagle represents the birds (cp. Ezek 1:10). These four figures are drawn from Ezek 1 (cherubim) and Isa 6 (seraphim). They probably represent the best of creation as worshiping God. Missing from this worldwide orchestra are fish, which ancient people associated with the evil sea (see Rev 21:1), and insects, represented by locusts in the evil kingdom (see 9:1-11).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
