Ezekiel 1:1-28

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>_.
{captives: Heb. captivity}
In the fifth
<02568>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
which [was] the fifth
<02549>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Jehoiachin's
<03112>
captivity
<01546>_,
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. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
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>_.
{infolding...: Heb. catching itself}
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>_.
And every one
<0259>
had four
<0702>
faces
<06440>_,
and every one
<0259>
had four
<0702>
wings
<03671>_.
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>_.
{straight...: Heb. a straight foot}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
{stretched...: or, divided above}
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)_.
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>_.
And the living creatures
<02416>
ran
<07519> (8800)
and returned
<07725> (8800)
as the appearance
<04758>
of a flash of lightning
<0965>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
{and their rings: or, and their strakes}
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)_.
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>_.
{of...: or, of life}
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>_.
{of...: or, of life}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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)_.
