Ezekiel 1

The Vision of Four Figures

1

Now it cameh1961 about in the thirtiethh7970 yearh8141, on the fifthh2568 day of the fourthh7243 monthh2320, while I was by the  ariverh5104 Chebarh3529 amongh8432 the exilesh1473, the  bheavensh8064 were openedh6605a and I sawh7200  1 cvisionsh4759a of Godh430.

2

(On the fifthh2568 of the monthh2320  1in the  afifthh2549 yearh8141 of Kingh4428 Jehoiachin'sh3078 exileh1546,

3

the  awordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 expresslyh1961 to Ezekielh3168 the priesth3548, sonh1121 of Buzih941, in the  blandh776 of the Chaldeansh3778 by the riverh5104 Chebarh3529; and thereh8033  cthe handh3027 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 upon him.)

4

As I lookedh7200, beholdh2009, a  astormh5591b windh7307 was comingh935 from the northh6828, a greath1419 cloudh6051 with fireh784 flashingh3947 forthh3947 continually and a brighth5051 lighth5051 aroundh5439 it, and in its midsth8432 something like  bglowingh2830 metalh2830 in the midsth8432 of the fireh784.

5

Withinh8432 it there were figuresh1823 resemblingh1823  afourh702 livingh2421b beingsh2421b. And thish2088 was their appearanceh4758: they had humanh120  bformh1823.

6

Eachh259 of them had  afourh702 facesh6440 and  bfourh702 wingsh3671.

7

Their legsh7272 were straighth3477 and  1their feeth7272 were like a calf'sh5695 hoofh3709h7272, and they gleamedh5340a like  aburnishedh7044 bronzeh5178.

8

Underh8478 their wingsh3671 on their  afourh702 sidesh7253 were humanh120  bhandsh3027. As for the facesh6440 and wingsh3671 of the fourh702 of them,

9

their wingsh3671 touchedh2266 oneh802 anotherh269; their faces did  anot turnh5437 when they movedh1980, eachh376  bwenth1980 straighth413h5676h6440 forwardh6440.

10

As for the  aformh1823 of their facesh6440, each had the  bfaceh6440 of a manh120;  1all fourh702 had the faceh6440 of a lionh743b on the righth3225 and the faceh6440 of a bullh7794 on the lefth8040, and  1all fourh702 had the faceh6440 of an eagleh5404.

11

Such were their facesh6440. Their wingsh3671 were spreadh6504 out aboveh4480h4605; eachh376 had twoh8147 touchingh2266 anotherh376 being, and  atwoh8147 coveringh3680 their bodiesh1472a.

12

And  aeachh376 wenth1980 straighth413h5676h6440 forwardh6440;  bwhereverh413h834h8033 the spirith7307 was about to goh1980, they would goh1980, withouth3808 turningh5437 as they wenth1980.

13

 1In the midst of the livingh2421b beingsh2421b there was something that lookedh4758 like burningh1197a coalsh1513 of  afireh784,  2likeh4758 torchesh3940 dartingh1980 backh1980 and forth amongh996 the livingh2421b beingsh2421b. The fireh784 was brighth5051, and lightningh1300 was  3flashingh3318 from the fireh784.

14

And the livingh2421b beingsh2421b  aranh7519 to and froh7725 likeh4758 boltsh965 of  blightningh965.

15

Now as I lookedh7200 at the livingh2421b beingsh2421b, beholdh2009, there was oneh259  awheelh212 on the earthh776 besideh681a the livingh2421b beingsh2421b,  1for each of the fourh702 of them.

16

The  aappearanceh4758 of the wheelsh212 and their workmanshiph4639 was like  1sparklingh5869  bberylh8658, and all fourh702 of them had the sameh259 formh1823, their appearanceh4758 and workmanshiph4639 being as ifh3512c  2one wheelh212 were withinh8432 anotherh212.

17

Whenever they  1movedh1980, they  1movedh1980 in anyh702 of their fourh702  2directionsh7253 withouth3808  aturningh5437 as they  1movedh1980.

18

As for their rimsh1354 they were loftyh1363 and awesomeh3374, and the rimsh1354 of all fourh702 of them were  afullh4392 of eyesh5869 roundh5439 abouth5439.

19

 aWhenever the livingh2421b beingsh2421b  1movedh1980, the wheelsh212  1movedh1980 with them. And whenever the livingh2421b beingsh2421b  broseh5375 from the earthh776, the wheelsh212 roseh5375 also.

20

 aWhereverh5921h834h8033 the spirith7307 was about to goh1980, they would goh1980 in that directionh8033 1. And the wheelsh212 roseh5375 closeh5980 besideh5980 them; for the spirith7307 of the livingh2421b  2beingsh2421b was in the wheelsh212.

21

 aWhenever those wenth1980, these wenth1980; and whenever those stoodh5975 stillh5975, these stoodh5975 stillh5975. And whenever those roseh5375 from the earthh776, the wheelsh212 roseh5375 closeh5980 besideh5980 them; for the spirith7307 of the livingh2421b  1beingsh2421b was in the wheelsh212.

Vision of Divine Glory

22

Now  aoverh5921 the headsh7218 of the livingh2421b  1beingsh2421b there was something likeh1823 an expanseh7549, like the awesomeh3372a gleamh5869 of  2crystalh7140, spreadh5186 out overh5921h4605 their headsh7218.

23

Underh8478 the expanseh7549 their wingsh3671 were stretched out straighth3477, oneh802 towardh413 the otherh269; eachh376 oneh376 also had  atwoh8147 wings coveringh3680 its bodyh1472a on the oneh376 sideh1992 and on the otherh2008.

24

I also heardh8085 the soundh6963 of their wingsh3671 like the  asoundh6963 of abundanth7227a watersh4325 as they wenth1980, like the  bvoiceh6963 of  1the Almightyh7706b, a soundh6963 of tumulth1999 like the  csoundh6963 of an armyh4264 camph4264; whenever they stoodh5975 stillh5975, they droppedh7503 their wingsh3671.

25

And there cameh1961 a voiceh6963 from aboveh5921 the  aexpanseh7549 that was overh5921 their headsh7218; whenever they stoodh5975 stillh5975, they droppedh7503 their wingsh3671.

26

Now  aaboveh4480h4605 the expanseh7549 that was overh5921 their headsh7218 there was somethingh1823  bresemblingh1823 a throneh3678, like  1 clapish68h5601 lazulih68h5601 in appearanceh4758; and on that whichh1823 resembledh1823 a throneh3678, highh4480h4605 up, was a figureh1823 with the appearanceh4758 of a  dmanh120.

27

Then I  1noticedh7200 from the appearanceh4758 of His loinsh4975 and upwardh4605 somethingh4758  alike  2glowingh2830 metalh2830 that lookedh4758 like fireh784 allh5439 aroundh5439 withinh1004 it, and from the appearanceh4758 of His loinsh4975 and downwardh4295 I sawh7200 somethingh4758 like fireh784; and there was a radianceh5051 aroundh5439 Him.

28

As the appearanceh4758 of the  arainbowh7198  1in the cloudsh6051 on a rainyh1653 dayh3117, soh3651 was the appearanceh4758 of the surroundingh5439 radianceh5051. Suchh1931 was the appearanceh4758 of the likenessh1823 of the  bgloryh3519b of the LORDh3068. And when I sawh7200 it, I  cfellh5307 on my faceh6440 and heardh8085 a voiceh6963 speakingh1696.
