1 # Now it came to pass in the thirtieth <07970> year <08141>, in the fourth <07243> month, in the fifth <02568> day of the month <02320>, as I was among <08432> the captives <01473> by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>, that the heavens <08064> were opened <06605> (8738), and I saw <07200> (8799) visions <04759> of God <0430>.
2 In the fifth <02568> day of the month <02320>, which was the fifth <02549> year <08141> of king <04428> Jehoiachin's <03112> captivity <01546>,
3 The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came expressly unto Ezekiel <03168> the priest <03548>, the son <01121> of Buzi <0941>, in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778> by the river <05104> Chebar <03529>; and the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was there upon him.
4 # And I looked <07200> (8799), and, behold, a whirlwind <07307> <05591> came <0935> (8802) out of the north <06828>, a great <01419> cloud <06051>, and a fire <0784> infolding <03947> (8693) itself, and a brightness <05051> was about <05439> it, and out of the midst <08432> thereof as the colour <05869> of amber <02830>, out of the midst <08432> of the fire <0784>.
5 Also out of the midst <08432> thereof came the likeness <01823> of four <0702> living creatures <02416>. And this was their appearance <04758>; they <02007> had the likeness <01823> of a man <0120>.
6 And every one <0259> had four <0702> faces <06440>, and every one <0259> had four <0702> wings <03671>.
7 And their feet <07272> were straight <03477> feet <07272>; and the sole <03709> of their feet <07272> was like the sole <03709> of a calf's <05695> foot <07272>: and they sparkled <05340> (8802) like the colour <05869> of burnished <07044> brass <05178>.
8 And they had the hands <03027> of a man <0120> under their wings <03671> on their four <0702> sides <07253> ; and they four <0702> had their faces <06440> and their wings <03671>.
9 Their wings <03671> were joined <02266> (8802) one <0802> to another <0269>; they turned <05437> (8735) not when they went <03212> (8800); they went <03212> (8799) every one <0376> straight <05676> forward <06440>.
10 As for the likeness <01823> of their faces <06440>, they four <0702> had the face <06440> of a man <0120>, and the face <06440> of a lion <0738>, on the right side <03225>: and they four <0702> had the face <06440> of an ox <07794> on the left side <08040>; they four <0702> also had the face <06440> of an eagle <05404>.
11 Thus were their faces <06440>: and their wings <03671> were stretched <06504> (8803) upward <04605> ; two <08147> wings of every one <0376> were joined <02266> (8802) one <0376> to another <0376>, and two <08147> covered <03680> (8764) their bodies <01472>.
12 And they went <03212> (8799) every one <0376> straight <05676> forward <06440>: whither the spirit <07307> was to go <03212> (8800), they went <03212> (8799); and they turned <05437> (8735) not when they went <03212> (8800).
13 As for the likeness <01823> of the living creatures <02416>, their appearance <04758> was like burning <01197> (8802) coals <01513> of fire <0784>, and like the appearance <04758> of lamps <03940>: it went up and down <01980> (8693) among the living creatures <02416>; and the fire <0784> was bright <05051>, and out of the fire <0784> went forth <03318> (8802) lightning <01300>.
14 And the living creatures <02416> ran <07519> (8800) and returned <07725> (8800) as the appearance <04758> of a flash of lightning <0965>.
15 # Now as I beheld <07200> (8799) the living creatures <02416>, behold one <0259> wheel <0212> upon the earth <0776> by <0681> the living creatures <02416>, with his four <0702> faces <06440>.
16 The appearance <04758> of the wheels <0212> and their work <04639> was like unto the colour <05869> of a beryl <08658>: and they four <0702> had one <0259> likeness <01823>: and their appearance <04758> and their work <04639> was as it were a wheel <0212> in the middle <08432> of a wheel <0212>.
17 When they went <03212> (8800), they went <03212> (8799) upon their four <0702> sides <07253>: and they turned <05437> (8735) not when they went <03212> (8800).
18 As for their rings <01354>, they were so high <01363> that they were dreadful <03374>; and their rings <01354> were full <04392> of eyes <05869> round about <05439> them four <0702>.
19 And when the living creatures <02416> went <03212> (8800), the wheels <0212> went <03212> (8799) by them <0681>: and when the living creatures <02416> were lifted up <05375> (8736) from the earth <0776>, the wheels <0212> were lifted up <05375> (8735).
20 Whithersoever the spirit <07307> was to go <03212> (8800), they went <03212> (8799), thither was their spirit <07307> to go <03212> (8800); and the wheels <0212> were lifted up <05375> (8735) over against <05980> them: for the spirit <07307> of the living creature <02416> was in the wheels <0212>.
21 When those went <03212> (8800), these went <03212> (8799); and when those stood <05975> (8800) , these stood <05975> (8799); and when those were lifted up <05375> (8736) from the earth <0776>, the wheels <0212> were lifted up <05375> (8735) over against <05980> them: for the spirit <07307> of the living creature <02416> was in the wheels <0212>.
22 And the likeness <01823> of the firmament <07549> upon the heads <07218> of the living creature <02416> was as the colour <05869> of the terrible <03372> (8737) crystal <07140>, stretched forth <05186> (8803) over their heads <07218> above <04605>.
23 And under the firmament <07549> were their wings <03671> straight <03477>, the one <0802> toward the other <0269>: every one <0376> had two <08147>, which covered <03680> (8764) on this side <02007>, and every one <0376> had two <08147>, which covered <03680> (8764) on that side <02007>, their bodies <01472>.
24 And when they went <03212> (8800), I heard <08085> (8799) the noise <06963> of their wings <03671> , like the noise <06963> of great <07227> waters <04325>, as the voice <06963> of the Almighty <07706>, the voice <06963> of speech <01999>, as the noise <06963> of an host <04264>: when they stood <05975> (8800), they let down <07503> (8762) their wings <03671>.
25 And there was a voice <06963> from the firmament <07549> that was over their heads <07218>, when they stood <05975> (8800), and had let down <07503> (8762) their wings <03671>.
26 # And above <04605> the firmament <07549> that was over their heads <07218> was the likeness <01823> of a throne <03678>, as the appearance <04758> of a sapphire <05601> stone <068>: and upon the likeness <01823> of the throne <03678> was the likeness <01823> as the appearance <04758> of a man <0120> above <04605> upon it.
27 And I saw <07200> (8799) as the colour <05869> of amber <02830>, as the appearance <04758> of fire <0784> round about <05439> within <01004> it, from the appearance <04758> of his loins <04975> even upward <04605>, and from the appearance <04758> of his loins <04975> even downward <04295>, I saw <07200> (8804) as it were the appearance <04758> of fire <0784>, and it had brightness <05051> round about <05439>.
28 As the appearance <04758> of the bow <07198> that is in the cloud <06051> in the day <03117> of rain <01653> , so was the appearance <04758> of the brightness <05051> round about <05439>. This was the appearance <04758> of the likeness <01823> of the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068>. And when I saw <07200> (8799) it, I fell <05307> (8799) upon my face <06440>, and I heard <08085> (8799) a voice <06963> of one that spake <01696> (8764).
