Berean Standard Bible
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the thirtieth year, in
the
fourth
`month',
in
the fifth of the month, and
I `am'
in
the
midst
of
the Removed
by the river Chebar
, the heavens have
been
opened ,
and I see
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 of the month --
it is
the fifth year of the removal
of the
king Jehoiachin --
On
the fifth day
of the month —
it was
the fifth year of the exile
of King Jehoiachin —
hath
the word of Jehovah
certainly
been
unto
Ezekiel son of Buzi the
priest
, in the land of the Chaldeans ,
by the river Chebar,
and there is
on
him
there
a
hand of
Jehovah
.
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
.
And
I look,
and lo,
a tempestuous
wind
is
coming from the north, a great cloud ,
and
fire catching
itself,
and brightness
to
it
round
about,
and out
of
its
midst
as
the
colour
of
copper,
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,
And out
of
its
midst
`is'
a
likeness
of four living creatures ,
and this `is'
their appearance ;
a likeness
of
man
`is'
to
them
,
and within
it
was
the
form
of four living creatures .
And this was
their appearance :
They
had
a human
form
,
and
four faces `are'
to
each,
and four wings `are'
to
each
of
them,
but
each
had
four faces and four wings .
and
their feet
`are'
straight feet
, and the sole
of their feet `is'
as
a
sole
of a calf's
foot
, and
they
are
sparkling
as
the
colour
of
bright
brass;
Their legs
were
straight, and the soles
of their feet were
like
the
hooves
of a calf
, gleaming
like
polished
bronze.
and
hands
of
man
under their wings --
on their four sides ,
and
their
faces and their
wings --
`are'
to
them
four;
Under their wings on their four sides they
had
human
hands.
All
four
living
creatures
had
faces and wings ,
joining
one
unto
another
`are'
their wings ,
they turn
not round
in
their
going,
each straight forward
they
go
.
and
their wings were
touching
one
another.
They did
not turn
as
they
moved;
each one
went
straight ahead
.
As
to
the likeness
of their faces ,
the
face
of a man, and the face of a lion ,
toward
the right `are'
to
them
four
, and
the face of an ox on the left `are'
to
them
four
, and the face of an eagle `are'
to
them
four
.
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.
And
their faces and
their wings are
separate
from
above,
to
each `are'
two joining
together
, and two are
covering 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
.
And
each straight forward
they
go,
whither
the spirit is
to
go, they go, they turn
not
round
in
their
going
.
Each creature
went
straight ahead.
Wherever
the spirit would
go, they would
go, without
turning
as
they moved
.
As
to
the likeness
of the living creatures ,
their
appearances
`are'
as
coals of fire --
burning
as
the
appearance
of lamps;
it
is
going
up
and down
between the living creatures ,
and
brightness
`is'
to
the
fire
, and out of the
fire
is
going
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
.
And
the living
creatures are
running,
and
turning
back ,
as the
appearance
of the
flash
.
The creatures were
darting
back and
forth
as quickly
as
flashes
of lightning
.
And
I see
the living creatures, and
lo,
one
wheel `is'
in
the
earth,
near
the living
creatures,
at
its four faces.
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
works
`is'
as
the colour
of beryl, and one
likeness
`is'
to
them
four ,
and
their
appearances
and
their
works
`are'
as
it
were
the wheel in
the
midst
of
the
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.
On
their
four
sides,
in
their
going
they go
, they turn
not
round
in their
going
.
As
they moved
, they went
in any
of
the
four
directions,
without
pivoting
as
they
moved
.
As
to
their rings,
they
are
both
high and fearful
, and their
rings
`are'
full of eyes round
about
them
four
.
Their rims
were
high and awesome
, and all
four
rims
were
full of eyes all
around
.
And
in
the
going
of
the living creatures, the wheels go
beside them, and in
the living
creatures being
lifted
up
from off
the earth
, lifted
up
are
the wheels.
So
as
the living creatures moved
, the wheels moved
beside them, and when
the creatures rose
from the ground
, the wheels also
rose
.
Whither
the spirit is
to
go, they go,
thither
the
spirit
`is'
to
go, and the wheels are
lifted
up
over-against
them, for
a
living
spirit `is'
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.
In
their
going
, they
go
; and
in
their
standing
, they
stand
; and in
their
being
lifted
up
from off
the earth
, lifted
up
are
the wheels over-against
them ;
for
a
living
spirit `is'
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.
And
a
likeness
`is'
over
the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as
the
colour
of
the
fearful
ice,
stretched
out
over
their
heads
from
above
.
Spread
out
above
the heads of the living creatures was
the
likeness
of an awesome
expanse, gleaming
like
crystal
.
And under the expanse their wings `are'
straight,
one
toward the
other,
to
each
are
two
covering
on
this
side,
and
to
each are
two covering 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
.
And
I hear
the noise
of their wings ,
as
the noise
of many waters, as
the noise
of the Mighty
One
, in
their
going
--
the noise
of
tumult ,
as
the
noise
of a
camp
, in
their
standing
they let
fall
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.
And there is
a voice from above the expanse ,
that
`is'
above
their
head:
in
their standing
they let
fall
their wings.
And there came
a voice from above the expanse over
their heads
as
they stood
still
with
their wings lowered
.
And
above the expanse that
`is'
over their head,
as
an
appearance
of
a
sapphire
stone,
`is'
the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness
of
the
throne a likeness,
as
the
appearance
of man upon
it
from
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.
And
I see
as
the
colour
of
copper
, 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 have
seen
as
the
appearance
of
fire ,
and brightness
`is'
to
it
round
about
.
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 a cloud in
a day of
rain,
so
`is'
the appearance of the brightness
round
about
.
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.
