Now
it
happened
in the thirtieth year, in
the
fourth
[month],
in
the fifth [
day ]
of the month, as
I was among the captives
by the river Chebar
, that
the heavens were
opened ,
and I saw visions of God.
In the thirtieth year, on
the fifth day of the fourth
month, while
I was among the exiles
by the River Kebar
, the heavens opened and I saw visions of God.
In
the fifth [
day ]
of the month ,
which
was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's
captivity,
On
the fifth day of the month —it
was the fifth year of the
exile
of
King Jehoiachin—
the word of Yahweh
came expressly
to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar;
and the hand of
Yahweh
was there
on
him.
the word of the
LORD
came directly
to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Kebar.
And there
the LORD’s
hand was upon
him.
I looked ,
and ,
behold,
a stormy
wind
came
out
of
the north, a great cloud ,
with flashing lightning,
and a
brightness
round
about
it,
and out
of
the
midst
of
it
as
it were
glowing
metal,
out
of
the midst
of the fire .
I looked and saw
a whirlwind
coming
from
the north, a great cloud with fire
flashing back
and forth
and brilliant
light
all
around
it .
In
the center
of the fire was
a
gleam
like
amber,
Out
of
the
midst
of
it came
the likeness
of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the
likeness
of
a man.
and
within
it was
the form
of four living creatures. And
this was their appearance: They had a human
form,
Everyone
had four faces ,
and everyone
of
them
had
four wings.
but
each
had four faces and four wings.
Their feet
were straight feet;
and the sole
of their feet was
like the sole
of a calf's
foot;
and
they
sparkled
like burnished
brass
.
Their legs
were straight ,
and the soles
of their feet were
like the hooves
of a calf,
gleaming
like polished
bronze
.
They
had
the
hands
of
a
man
under their wings on their four sides ;
and
they four had their
faces and their
wings [thus]:
Under their wings on their four sides they had
human
hands.
All
four living
creatures
had faces and wings ,
their wings were joined
one to
another ;
they didn't
turn when
they went
; they
went everyone
straight forward
.
and
their wings were touching
one another .
They did
not
turn as
they moved
; each
one
went straight ahead
.
As
for
the likeness
of their faces ,
they
had
the
face
of a man ;
and they
four had the face of a lion on the right side ;
and
they
four
had
the face of an ox on the left side ;
they
four
had
also the face of an eagle.
The form
of their faces was
that
of a man ,
and each
of
the
four had the face of a lion on the right side ,
the face of an ox on the left side ,
and
also the face of an eagle.
Their faces and
their wings were separate
above
; two [
wings ]
of everyone
were
joined
one
to
another
, and two covered
their
bodies
.
Such
were
their faces .
Their wings were spread
upward
; each
had
two wings touching
the
wings
of the
creature
on
either
side
, and two wings
covering
its
body
.
They
went everyone
straight forward:
where
the spirit was
to
go, they went;
they
didn't
turn
when
they went
.
Each
creature
went straight ahead.
Wherever
the spirit would
go, they would
go,
without
turning
as
they moved
.
As
for
the likeness
of the living creatures ,
their
appearance
was like
burning
coals of fire, like
the
appearance
of torches :
[the
fire ]
went
up
and down
among
the living creatures; and
the
fire
was bright, and out of the
fire
went
forth
lightning
.
In
the midst
of the living creatures was the
appearance
of
glowing
coals of fire, or
of torches .
Fire moved
back
and forth
between
the living creatures; it
was bright, and lightning
flashed
out of it
.
The living
creatures ran
and returned
as the
appearance
of
a
flash
of lightning.
The creatures were
darting
back
and forth
as quickly
as
flashes
of lightning.
Now
as
I saw
the living creatures, behold,
one
wheel on the earth
beside the
living
creatures,
for
each of
the
four faces of
it
.
When
I looked
at
the living creatures, I
saw
a
wheel on the ground
beside each creature
with
its
four faces.
The appearance
of the wheels and
their
work
was
like a
beryl :
and they
four had one
likeness ;
and
their
appearance
and
their work
was
as
it
were
a wheel within a wheel.
The workmanship
of the wheels looked
like the
gleam
of
beryl ,
and all
four had the
same
likeness .
Their workmanship
looked
like
a wheel within a wheel.
When
they went
, they went in their
four directions :
they
didn't
turn
when
they went
.
As
they moved
, they went in any
of
the
four directions ,
without
pivoting
as
they moved
.
As
for
their rims ,
they
were high and dreadful;
and they
four had
their
rims full of eyes round
about
.
Their rims were high and awesome,
and all
four rims were
full of eyes all
around
.
When
the living creatures went
, the wheels went
beside them ;
and when the living
creatures were
lifted
up
from the earth
, the wheels were
lifted
up
.
So
as
the living creatures moved
, the wheels moved
beside them ,
and when the creatures rose
from the ground
, the wheels also
rose
.
Wherever the spirit was
to
go, they went;
there
was
the
spirit
to
go :
and the wheels were
lifted
up
beside
them ;
for
the spirit of the living creature
was in the wheels.
Wherever the spirit would
go, they would
go ,
and the wheels would
rise
alongside
them ,
because
the spirit of the living creatures
was in the wheels.
When those
went
, these
went
; and
when those
stood, these
stood; and when those
were
lifted
up
from the earth
, the wheels were
lifted
up
beside
them :
for
the spirit of the living creature
was in the wheels.
When the
creatures
moved
, the
wheels
moved
; when the
creatures
stood still
, the
wheels
stood still
; and when the
creatures
rose
from the ground
, the wheels rose
alongside
them ,
because
the spirit of the living creatures
was in the wheels.
Over
the head
of the living creature
there
was the likeness of an expanse, like the
awesome
crystal to
look
on,
stretched
forth
over
their
heads
above
.
Spread
out
above
the heads
of the living creatures
was the likeness of an awesome
expanse, gleaming
like crystal.
Under the expanse were
their wings straight,
the
one
toward the
other:
everyone
had
two
which
covered
on
this
side,
and
every
one had two which
covered
on
that
side,
their
bodies
.
And
under the expanse ,
their wings stretched
out
toward one another.
Each
one
also
had two wings
covering
its
body
.
When they
went
, I heard the noise
of their wings like the noise
of great
waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a
noise
of
tumult
like the noise
of a
host:
when they stood, they let
down
their wings.
When the
creatures
moved
, I heard the sound
of their wings like the roar
of many
waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult
of an
army.
When they stood still
, they lowered
their wings.
There was
a voice above the expanse that
was
over their heads :
when
they stood ,
they
let
down
their wings.
And
there came
a voice from
above the expanse over their heads as
they stood still
with
their wings lowered
.
Above the expanse that
was
over their heads was the likeness of a throne ,
as
the appearance of a
sapphire stone;
and on the likeness
of
the
throne was a likeness
as
the
appearance
of a man on
it
above
.
Above the expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne with
the appearance of sapphire ,
and on the throne high
above
was a figure
like
that
of a man.
I saw as
it
were
glowing
metal
, as
the
appearance
of
fire within it round
about,
from
the
appearance
of
his
loins
and
upward;
and from the
appearance
of
his loins
and
downward
I saw as
it
were
the
appearance
of
fire ,
and there
was
brightness
round
about
him.
From
what
seemed
to
be
His
waist
up,
I saw a
gleam
like
amber
, with
what
looked
like
fire within it all
around.
And from what
seemed
to
be
His waist
down,
I saw what
looked
like
fire ;
and brilliant
light
surrounded
Him.
As
the appearance of the bow
that is
in the
cloud in
the
day of
rain,
so
was
the
appearance
of
the
brightness
round
about
. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh
. When I saw it, I fell on
my
face,
and I
heard a voice of
one
that
spoke
.
The appearance of the brilliant
light
all
around
Him
was
like
that of
a
rainbow
in a
cloud on
a
rainy
day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the
LORD
. And
when I saw it, I fell facedown
and heard a voice speaking
.
