Ezekiel 1
1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the thirtieth <7970> year
<8141>, in the fourth <7243> [month], in the fifth <2568> [day]
of the month <2320>, as I [was] among <8432> the captives <1473>
by the river <5104> of Chebar <3529>, [that] the heavens <8064>
were opened <6605>, and I saw <7200> visions <4759> of God
<0430>.
2 In the fifth <2568> [day] of the month <2320>, which <1958>
[was] the fifth <2549> year <8141> of king <4428> Jehoiachin's
<3112> captivity <1546>,
3 The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> expressly unto
Ezekiel <3168> the priest <3548>, the son <1121> of Buzi <0941>,
in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3779> by the river <5104>
Chebar <3529>; and the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068> was there
<8033> upon him.
4. And I looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, a whirlwind came
<0935> out of the north <6828>, a great <1419> cloud <6051>, and
a fire <0784> infolding <3947> itself, and a brightness <5051>
[was] about <5439> it, and out of the midst <8432> thereof as
the colour <5869> of amber <2830>, out of the midst <8432> of
the fire <0784>.
5 Also out of the midst <8432> thereof [came] the likeness
<1823> of four <0702> living <2416> creatures <2416>. And this
<2088> [was] their appearance <4758>; they had the likeness
<1823> of a man <0120>.
6 And every one <0259> had four <0702> faces <6440>, and every
one <0259> had four <0702> wings <3671>.
7 And their feet <7272> [were] straight <3474> feet <7272>; and
the sole <3709> of their feet <7272> [was] like the sole <3709>
of a calf's <5695> foot <7272>: and they sparkled <5340> like
the colour <5869> of burnished <7044> brass <5178>.
8 And [they had] the hands <3027> of a man <0120> under <8478>
their wings <3671> on <5921> their four <0702> sides <7253>; and
they four <0702> had their faces <6440> and their wings <3671>.
9 Their wings <3671> [were] joined <2266> one <0802> to another
<0269>; they turned <5437> not when they went <3212>; they went
<3212> every <0376> one <0376> straight <5676> forward <6440>.
10 As for the likeness <1823> of their faces <6440>, they four
<0702> had the face <6440> of a man <0120>, and the face <6440>
of a lion <0738>, on <0413> the right <3225> side <3225>: and
they four <0702> had the face <6440> of an ox <7794> on the left
<8040> side <8040>; they four <0702> also had the face <6440> of
an eagle <5404>.
11 Thus [were] their faces <6440>: and their wings <3671>
[were] stretched <6504> upward <4605>; two <8147> [wings] of
every <0376> one <0376> [were] joined <2266> one <0376> to
another <0376>, and two <8147> covered <3680> their bodies
<1472>.
12 And they went <3212> every <0376> one <0376> straight <5676>
forward <6440>: whither the spirit <7307> was to go <3212>, they
went <3212>; [and] they turned <5437> not when they went <3212>.
13 As for the likeness <1823> of the living <2416> creatures
<2416>, their appearance <4758> [was] like burning <1197> coals
<1513> of fire <0784>, [and] like the appearance <4758> of lamps
<3940>: it went <1980> up and down among <0996> the living
<2416> creatures <2416>; and the fire <0784> was bright <5051>,
and out of the fire <0784> went <3318> forth <3318> lightning
<1300>.
14 And the living <2416> creatures <2416> ran <7519> and
returned <7725> as the appearance <4758> of a flash <0965> of
lightning <0965>.
15. Now as I beheld <7200> the living <2416> creatures <2416>,
behold <2009> one <0259> wheel <0212> upon the earth <0776> by
the living <2416> creatures <2416>, with his four <0702> faces
<6440>.
16 The appearance <4758> of the wheels <0212> and their work
<4639> [was] like unto the colour <5869> of a beryl <8658>: and
they four <0702> had one <0259> likeness <1823>: and their
appearance <4758> and their work <4639> [was] as it were a wheel
<0212> in the middle <8432> of a wheel <0212>.
17 When they went <3212>, they went <3212> upon their four
<0702> sides <7253>: [and] they turned <5437> not when they went
<3212>.
18 As for their rings <1354>, they were so high <1362> that
they were dreadful <3374>; and their rings <1354> [were] full
<4392> of eyes <5869> round <5439> about them four <0702>.
19 And when the living <2416> creatures <2416> went <3212>, the
wheels <0212> went <3212> by them: and when the living <2416>
creatures <2416> were lifted <5375> up from the earth <0776>,
the wheels <0212> were lifted <5375> up.
20 Whithersoever the spirit <7307> was to go <3212>, they went
<3212>, thither <8033> [was their] spirit <7307> to go <3212>;
and the wheels <0212> were lifted <5375> up over <5980> against
<5980> them: for the spirit <7307> of the living <2416> creature
<2416> [was] in the wheels <0212>.
21 When those went <3212>, [these] went <3212>; and when those
stood <5975>, [these] stood <5975>; and when those were lifted
<5375> up from the earth <0776>, the wheels <0212> were lifted
<5375> up over <5980> against <5980> them: for the spirit <7307>
of the living <2416> creature <2416> [was] in the wheels <0212>.
22 And the likeness <1823> of the firmament <7549> upon the
heads <7218> of the living <2416> creature <2416> [was] as the
colour <5869> of the terrible <3372> crystal <7140>, stretched
<5186> forth over <5921> their heads <7218> above <4605>.
23 And under <8478> the firmament <7549> [were] their wings
<3671> straight <3474>, the one <0802> toward <0413> the other
<0269>: every <0376> one <0376> had two <8147>, which covered
<3680> on this <2007> side, and every <0376> one <0376> had two
<8147>, which covered <3680> on that side, their bodies <1472>.
24 And when they went <3212>, I heard <8085> the noise <6963>
of their wings <3671>, like the noise <6963> of great <7227>
waters <4325>, as the voice <6963> of the Almighty <7706>, the
voice <6963> of speech <1999>, as the noise <6963> of an host
<4264>: when they stood <5975>, they let <7503> down <7503>
their wings <3671>.
25 And there was a voice <6963> from the firmament <7549> that
[was] over <5921> their heads <7218>, when they stood <5975>,
[and] had let <7503> down <7503> their wings <3671>.
26. And above <4605> the firmament <7549> that [was] over
<5921> their heads <7218> [was] the likeness <1823> of a throne
<3678>, as the appearance <4758> of a sapphire <5601> stone <68>:
and upon the likeness <1823> of the throne <3678> [was] the
likeness <1823> as the appearance <4758> of a man <0120> above
<4605> upon it.
27 And I saw <7200> as the colour <5869> of amber <2830>, as
the appearance <4758> of fire <0784> round <5439> about within
<1004> it, from the appearance <4758> of his loins <4975> even
upward <4605>, and from the appearance <4758> of his loins
<4975> even downward <4295>, I saw <7200> as it were the
appearance <4758> of fire <0784>, and it had brightness <5051>
round <5439> about.
28 As the appearance <4758> of the bow <7198> that is in the
cloud <6051> in the day <3117> of rain <1653>, so <3651> [was]
the appearance <4758> of the brightness <5051> round <5439>
about. This <1931> [was] the appearance <4758> of the likeness
<1823> of the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068>. And when I saw
