Ezekiel, Chapter 1
1 Now it came about in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles, the heavens were opened and I sawavisions of God. 2 (On the fifth of the monthbin the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile, 3 the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the LORD came upon him.) | |
4 As I looked, behold, a storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire. 5 Within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human form. 6 Each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight andctheir feet were like a calf’s hoof, and they gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides were human hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them, 9 their wings touched one another; their faces did not turn when they moved, each went straight forward. 10 As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man;dall four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, andeall four had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies. 12 And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went. 13 fIn the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire,glike torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning washflashing from the fire. 14 And the living beings ran to and fro like bolts of lightning. | |
15 Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings,ifor each of the four of them. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was likejsparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as ifkone wheel were within another. 17 Whenever theylmoved, theymmoved in any of their fourndirections without turning as theyomoved. 18 As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes round about. 19 Whenever the living beingspmoved, the wheelsqmoved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also. 20 Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that directionr. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the livingsbeings was in the wheels. 21 Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the livingtbeings was in the wheels. | |
22 Now over the heads of the livingubeings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam ofvcrystal, spread out over their heads. 23 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had two wings covering its body on the one side and on the other. 24 I also heard the sound of their wings like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice ofwthe Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. 25 And there came a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. | |
26 Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, likexlapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. 27 Then Iynoticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something likezglowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28 As the appearance of the rainbowaain the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking. |
