Ezekiel 1
1. Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the thirtieth <7970
sh@lowshiym > year <8141 shaneh >, in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy
> [month], in the fifth <2568 chamesh > [day] of the month <2320
chodesh >, as I [was] among <8432 tavek > the captives <1473
gowlah > by the river <5104 nahar > of Chebar <3529 K@bar >,
[that] the heavens <8064 shamayim > were opened <6605 pathach >,
and I saw <7200 ra>ah > visions <4759 mar>ah > of God <0430
>elohiym >.
2 In the fifth <2568 chamesh > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh
>, which <1958 hiy > [was] the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > year
<8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Jehoiachin's <3112
Yowyakiyn > captivity <1546 galuwth >,
3 The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961
hayah > expressly unto Ezekiel <3168 Y@chezqe>l > the priest
<3548 kohen >, the son <1121 ben > of Buzi <0941 Buwziy >, in
the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > by the
river <5104 nahar > Chebar <3529 K@bar >; and the hand <3027 yad
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was there <8033 sham > upon him.
4. And I looked <7200 ra>ah >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, a
whirlwind came <0935 bow> > out of the north <6828 tsaphown >, a
great <1419 gadowl > cloud <6051 <anan >, and a fire <0784 >esh
> infolding <3947 laqach > itself, and a brightness <5051 nogahh
> [was] about <5439 cabiyb > it, and out of the midst <8432
tavek > thereof as the colour <5869 <ayin > of amber <2830
chashmal >, out of the midst <8432 tavek > of the fire <0784
>esh >.
5 Also out of the midst <8432 tavek > thereof [came] the
likeness <1823 d@muwth > of four <0702 >arba< > living <2416
chay > creatures <2416 chay >. And this <2088 zeh > [was] their
appearance <4758 mar>eh >; they had the likeness <1823 d@muwth >
of a man <0120 >adam >.
6 And every one <0259 >echad > had four <0702 >arba< > faces
<6440 paniym >, and every one <0259 >echad > had four <0702
>arba< > wings <3671 kanaph >.
7 And their feet <7272 regel > [were] straight <3474 yashar >
feet <7272 regel >; and the sole <3709 kaph > of their feet
<7272 regel > [was] like the sole <3709 kaph > of a calf's <5695
<egel > foot <7272 regel >: and they sparkled <5340 natsats >
like the colour <5869 <ayin > of burnished <7044 qalal > brass
<5178 n@chosheth >.
8 And [they had] the hands <3027 yad > of a man <0120 >adam >
under <8478 tachath > their wings <3671 kanaph > on <5921 <al >
their four <0702 >arba< > sides <7253 reba< >; and they four
<0702 >arba< > had their faces <6440 paniym > and their wings
<3671 kanaph >.
9 Their wings <3671 kanaph > [were] joined <2266 chabar > one
<0802 >ishshah > to another <0269 >achowth >; they turned <5437
cabab > not when they went <3212 yalak >; they went <3212 yalak
> every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > straight <5676 <eber >
forward <6440 paniym >.
10 As for the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of their faces <6440
paniym >, they four <0702 >arba< > had the face <6440 paniym >
of a man <0120 >adam >, and the face <6440 paniym > of a lion
<0738 >ariy >, on <0413 >el > the right <3225 yamiyn > side
<3225 yamiyn >: and they four <0702 >arba< > had the face <6440
paniym > of an ox <7794 showr > on the left <8040 s@mo>wl > side
<8040 s@mo>wl >; they four <0702 >arba< > also had the face
<6440 paniym > of an eagle <5404 nesher >.
11 Thus [were] their faces <6440 paniym >: and their wings
<3671 kanaph > [were] stretched <6504 parad > upward <4605 ma<al
>; two <8147 sh@nayim > [wings] of every <0376 >iysh > one <0376
>iysh > [were] joined <2266 chabar > one <0376 >iysh > to
another <0376 >iysh >, and two <8147 sh@nayim > covered <3680
kacah > their bodies <1472 g@viyah >.
12 And they went <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376
>iysh > straight <5676 <eber > forward <6440 paniym >: whither
the spirit <7307 ruwach > was to go <3212 yalak >, they went
<3212 yalak >; [and] they turned <5437 cabab > not when they
went <3212 yalak >.
13 As for the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the living <2416 chay
> creatures <2416 chay >, their appearance <4758 mar>eh > [was]
like burning <1197 ba<ar > coals <1513 gechel > of fire <0784
>esh >, [and] like the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of lamps <3940
lappiyd >: it went <1980 halak > up and down among <0996 beyn >
the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay >; and the fire
<0784 >esh > was bright <5051 nogahh >, and out of the fire
<0784 >esh > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > lightning
<1300 baraq >.
14 And the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > ran <7519
ratsa> > and returned <7725 shuwb > as the appearance <4758
mar>eh > of a flash <0965 bazaq > of lightning <0965 bazaq >.
15. Now as I beheld <7200 ra>ah > the living <2416 chay >
creatures <2416 chay >, behold <2009 hinneh > one <0259 >echad >
wheel <0212 >owphan > upon the earth <0776 >erets > by the
living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay >, with his four <0702
>arba< > faces <6440 paniym >.
16 The appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the wheels <0212 >owphan >
and their work <4639 ma<aseh > [was] like unto the colour <5869
<ayin > of a beryl <8658 tarshiysh >: and they four <0702 >arba<
> had one <0259 >echad > likeness <1823 d@muwth >: and their
appearance <4758 mar>eh > and their work <4639 ma<aseh > [was]
as it were a wheel <0212 >owphan > in the middle <8432 tavek >
of a wheel <0212 >owphan >.
17 When they went <3212 yalak >, they went <3212 yalak > upon
their four <0702 >arba< > sides <7253 reba< >: [and] they turned
<5437 cabab > not when they went <3212 yalak >.
18 As for their rings <1354 gab >, they were so high <1362
gabahh > that they were dreadful <3374 yir>ah >; and their rings
<1354 gab > [were] full <4392 male> > of eyes <5869 <ayin >
round <5439 cabiyb > about them four <0702 >arba< >.
19 And when the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > went
<3212 yalak >, the wheels <0212 >owphan > went <3212 yalak > by
them: and when the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay >
were lifted <5375 nasa> > up from the earth <0776 >erets >, the
wheels <0212 >owphan > were lifted <5375 nasa> > up.
20 Whithersoever the spirit <7307 ruwach > was to go <3212
yalak >, they went <3212 yalak >, thither <8033 sham > [was
their] spirit <7307 ruwach > to go <3212 yalak >; and the wheels
<0212 >owphan > were lifted <5375 nasa> > up over <5980 <ummah >
against <5980 <ummah > them: for the spirit <7307 ruwach > of
the living <2416 chay > creature <2416 chay > [was] in the
wheels <0212 >owphan >.
21 When those went <3212 yalak >, [these] went <3212 yalak >;
and when those stood <5975 <amad >, [these] stood <5975 <amad >;
and when those were lifted <5375 nasa> > up from the earth <0776
>erets >, the wheels <0212 >owphan > were lifted <5375 nasa> >
up over <5980 <ummah > against <5980 <ummah > them: for the
spirit <7307 ruwach > of the living <2416 chay > creature <2416
chay > [was] in the wheels <0212 >owphan >.
22 And the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the firmament <7549
raqiya< > upon the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the living <2416 chay
> creature <2416 chay > [was] as the colour <5869 <ayin > of the
terrible <3372 yare> > crystal <7140 qerach >, stretched <5186
natah > forth over <5921 <al > their heads <7218 ro>sh > above
<4605 ma<al >.
