Now it cameH1961 to pass in the thirtiethH7970 year,H8141 in the fourthH7243 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the month,H2320 as I was amongH8432 the captivesH1473 by the riverH5104 of Chebar,H3529 that the heavensH8064 were opened,H6605 and I sawH7200 visionsH4759 of God.H430
2
In the fifthH2568 day of the month,H2320 whichH1958 was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivity,H1546
3
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 expressly to EzekielH3168 the priest,H3548 the sonH1121 of Buzi,H941 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3779 by the riverH5104 Chebar;H3529 and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was thereH8033 on him.
4
And I looked,H7200 and, behold,H2009 a whirlwindH7307 H5591 cameH935 out of the north,H6828 a greatH1419 cloud,H6051 and a fireH784 enfoldingH3947 itself, and a brightnessH5051 was aboutH5439 it, and out of the middleH8432 thereof as the colorH5869 of amber,H2830 out of the middleH8432 of the fire.H784
5
Also out of the middleH8432 thereof came the likenessH1823 of fourH702 livingH2416 creatures.H2416 And thisH2088 was their appearance;H4758 they had the likenessH1823 of a man.H120
6
And every oneH259 had fourH702 faces,H6440 and every oneH259 had fourH702 wings.H3671
7
And their feetH7272 were straightH3474 feet;H7272 and the soleH3709 of their feetH7272 was like the soleH3709 of a calf'sH5695 foot:H7272 and they sparkledH5340 like the colorH5869 of burnishedH7044 brass.H5178
8
And they had the handsH3027 of a manH120 underH8478 their wingsH3671 onH5921 their fourH702 sides;H7253 and they fourH702 had their facesH6440 and their wings.H3671
9
Their wingsH3671 were joinedH2266 oneH802 to another;H269 they turnedH5437 not when they went;H3212 they wentH3212 everyH376 oneH376 straightH5676 forward.H6440
10
As for the likenessH1823 of their faces,H6440 they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of a man,H120 and the faceH6440 of a lion,H738 onH413 the rightH3225 side:H3225 and they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of an oxH7794 on the leftH8040 side;H8040 they fourH702 also had the faceH6440 of an eagle.H5404
11
Thus were their faces:H6440 and their wingsH3671 were stretchedH6504 upward;H4605 twoH8147 wings of everyH376 oneH376 were joinedH2266 oneH376 to another,H376 and twoH8147 coveredH3680 their bodies.H1472
12
And they wentH3212 everyH376 oneH376 straightH5676 forward:H6440 whereH834 H8033 the spiritH7307 was to go,H3212 they went;H3212 and they turnedH5437 not when they went.H3212
13
As for the likenessH1823 of the livingH2416 creatures,H2416 their appearanceH4758 was like burningH1197 coalsH1513 of fire,H784 and like the appearanceH4758 of lamps:H3940 it wentH1980 up and down amongH996 the livingH2416 creatures;H2416 and the fireH784 was bright,H5051 and out of the fireH784 wentH3318 forthH3318 lightning.H1300
14
And the livingH2416 creaturesH2416 ranH7519 and returnedH7725 as the appearanceH4758 of a flashH965 of lightning.H965
15
Now as I beheldH7200 the livingH2416 creatures,H2416 beholdH2009 oneH259 wheelH212 on the earthH776 by the livingH2416 creatures,H2416 with his fourH702 faces.H6440
16
The appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 and their workH4639 was like to the colorH5869 of a beryl:H8658 and they fourH702 had oneH259 likeness:H1823 and their appearanceH4758 and their workH4639 was as it were a wheelH212 in the middleH8432 of a wheel.H212
17
When they went,H3212 they wentH3212 on their fourH702 sides:H7253 and they turnedH5437 not when they went.H3212
18
As for their rings,H1354 they were so highH1362 that they were dreadful;H3374 and their ringsH1354 were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 roundH5439 about them four.H702
19
And when the livingH2416 creaturesH2416 went,H3212 the wheelsH212 wentH3212 by them: and when the livingH2416 creaturesH2416 were liftedH5375 up from the earth,H776 the wheelsH212 were liftedH5375 up.
20
WhereverH5921 the spiritH7307 was to go,H3212 they went,H3212 thitherH8033 was their spiritH7307 to go;H3212 and the wheelsH212 were liftedH5375 up overH5980 againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the livingH2416 creatureH2416 was in the wheels.H212
21
When those went,H3212 these went;H3212 and when those stood,H5975 these stood;H5975 and when those were liftedH5375 up from the earth,H776 the wheelsH212 were liftedH5375 up overH5980 againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the livingH2416 creatureH2416 was in the wheels.H212
22
And the likenessH1823 of the firmamentH7549 on the headsH7218 of the livingH2416 creatureH2416 was as the colorH5869 of the terribleH3372 crystal,H7140 stretchedH5186 forth overH5921 their headsH7218 above.H4605
23
And underH8478 the firmamentH7549 were their wingsH3671 straight,H3474 the oneH802 towardH413 the other:H269 everyH376 oneH376 had two,H8147 which coveredH3680 on thisH2007 side, and everyH376 oneH376 had two,H8147 which coveredH3680 on that side, their bodies.H1472
24
And when they went,H3212 I heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of their wings,H3671 like the noiseH6963 of greatH7227 waters,H4325 as the voiceH6963 of the Almighty,H7706 the voiceH6963 of speech,H1999 as the noiseH6963 of an host:H4264 when they stood,H5975 they letH7503 downH7503 their wings.H3671
25
And there was a voiceH6963 from the firmamentH7549 that was overH5921 their heads,H7218 when they stood,H5975 and had letH7503 downH7503 their wings.H3671
26
And aboveH4605 the firmamentH7549 that was overH5921 their headsH7218 was the likenessH1823 of a throne,H3678 as the appearanceH4758 of a sapphireH5601 stone:H68 and on the likenessH1823 of the throneH3678 was the likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of a manH120 aboveH4605 on it.
27
And I sawH7200 as the colorH5869 of amber,H2830 as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784 roundH5439 about withinH1004 it, from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even upward,H4605 and from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downward,H4295 I sawH7200 as it were the appearanceH4758 of fire,H784 and it had brightnessH5051 roundH5439 about.
28
As the appearanceH4758 of the bowH7198 that is in the cloudH6051 in the dayH3117 of rain,H1653 soH3651 was the appearanceH4758 of the brightnessH5051 roundH5439 about. ThisH1931 was the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the gloryH3519 of the LORD.H3068 And when I sawH7200 it, I fellH5307 on my face,H6440 and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of one that spoke.H1696
