[1] Now 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, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.§ [2] In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, [3] Yahweh’s§ word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and Yahweh’s hand was there on him. [4] I looked, and behold,§ a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire. [5] Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man. [6] Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings. [7] Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze. [8] They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this: [9] Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each one went straight forward. [10] As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion on the right side. The four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. The four of them also had the face of an eagle. [11] Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies. [12] Each one went straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They didn’t turn when they went. [13] 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. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire. [14] The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. [15] Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it. [16] The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl. The four of them had one likeness. Their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel. [17] When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn when they went. [18] As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around. [19] When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. [20] Wherever the spirit was to go, they went. The spirit was to go there. The wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. [21] When those went, these went. When those stood, these stood. 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. [22] Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like an awesome crystal to look at, stretched out over their heads above. [23] Under the expanse, their wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies on that side. [24] 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 an army. When they stood, they let down their wings. [25] There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings. [26] Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire§ stone. On the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above. [27] I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him. [28] As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.This was the appearance of the likeness of Yahweh’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

King James Version
[1] Now it came to pass in the thirtiethH7970 year,H8141 in the fourthH7243 [month], in the fifthH2568 [day] of the month,H2320 as I [was] amongH8432 the captivesH1473 by the riverH5104 of Chebar,H3529 [that] the heavensH8064 were opened,H6605(NiphPerf) and I sawH7200(QalImpf) visionsH4759 of God.H430 [2] In the fifthH2568 [day] of the month,H2320 which [was] the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin’sH3112 captivity,H1546 [3] The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priest,H3548 the sonH1121 of Buzi,H941 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 Chebar;H3529 and the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was there upon him. [4] And I looked,H7200(QalImpf) and, behold, a whirlwindH7307 cameH935(QalActPtc) out of the north,H6828 a greatH1419 cloud,H6051 and a fireH784 infoldingH3947(HithPtc) itself, and a brightnessH5051 [was] aboutH5439 it, and out of the midstH8432 thereof as the colourH5869 of amber,H2830 out of the midstH8432 of the fire.H784 [5] Also out of the midstH8432 thereof [came] the likenessH1823 of fourH702 living creatures.H2416 And this [was] their appearance;H4758 theyH2007 had the likenessH1823 of a man.H120 [6] And every oneH259 had fourH702 faces,H6440 and every oneH259 had fourH702 wings.H3671 [7] And their feetH7272 [were] straightH3477 feet;H7272 and the soleH3709 of their feetH7272 [was] like the soleH3709 of a calf’sH5695 foot:H7272 and they sparkledH5340(QalActPtc) like the colourH5869 of burnishedH7044 brass.H5178 [8] And [they had] the handsH3027 of a manH120 under their wingsH3671 on their fourH702 sides;H7253 and they fourH702 had their facesH6440 and their wings.H3671 [9] Their wingsH3671 [were] joinedH2266(QalActPtc) oneH802 to another;H269 they turnedH5437(NiphImpf) not when they went;H3212(QalInf) they wentH3212(QalImpf) every oneH376 straightH5676 forward.H6440 [10] As for the likenessH1823 of their faces,H6440 they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of a man,H120 and the faceH6440 of a lion,H738 on the right side:H3225 and they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of an oxH7794 on the left side;H8040 they fourH702 also had the faceH6440 of an eagle.H5404 [11] Thus [were] their faces:H6440 and their wingsH3671 [were] stretchedH6504(QalPasPtc) upward;H4605 twoH8147 [wings] of every oneH376 [were] joinedH2266(QalActPtc) oneH376 to another,H376 and twoH8147 coveredH3680(PielPtc) their bodies.H1472 [12] And they wentH3212(QalImpf) every oneH376 straightH5676 forward:H6440 whither the spiritH7307 was to go,H3212(QalInf) they went;H3212(QalImpf) [and] they turnedH5437(NiphImpf) not when they went.H3212(QalInf) [13] As for the likenessH1823 of the living creatures,H2416 their appearanceH4758 [was] like burningH1197(QalActPtc) coalsH1513 of fire,H784 [and] like the appearanceH4758 of lamps:H3940 it went up and downH1980(HithPtc) among the living creatures;H2416 and the fireH784 was bright,H5051 and out of the fireH784 went forthH3318(QalActPtc) lightning.H1300 [14] And the living creaturesH2416 ranH7519(QalInf) and returnedH7725(QalInf) as the appearanceH4758 of a flash of lightning.H965 [15] Now as I beheldH7200(QalImpf) the living creatures,H2416 behold oneH259 wheelH212 upon the earthH776 byH681 the living creatures,H2416 with his fourH702 faces.H6440 [16] The appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 and their workH4639 [was] like unto the colourH5869 of a beryl:H8658 and they fourH702 had oneH259 likeness:H1823 and their appearanceH4758 and their workH4639 [was] as it were a wheelH212 in the middleH8432 of a wheel.H212 [17] When they went,H3212(QalInf) they wentH3212(QalImpf) upon their fourH702 sides:H7253 [and] they turnedH5437(NiphImpf) not when they went.H3212(QalInf) [18] As for their rings,H1354 they were so highH1363 that they were dreadful;H3374 and their ringsH1354 [were] fullH4392 of eyesH5869 round aboutH5439 them four.H702 [19] And when the living creaturesH2416 went,H3212(QalInf) the wheelsH212 wentH3212(QalImpf) by them:H681 and when the living creaturesH2416 were lifted upH5375(NiphInf) from the earth,H776 the wheelsH212 were lifted up.H5375(NiphImpf) [20] Whithersoever the spiritH7307 was to go,H3212(QalInf) they went,H3212(QalImpf) thither [was their] spiritH7307 to go;H3212(QalInf) and the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375(NiphImpf) over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 [was] in the wheels.H212 [21] When those went,H3212(QalInf) [these] went;H3212(QalImpf) and when those stood,H5975(QalInf) [these] stood;H5975(QalImpf) and when those were lifted upH5375(NiphInf) from the earth,H776 the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375(NiphImpf) over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 [was] in the wheels.H212 [22] And the likenessH1823 of the firmamentH7549 upon the headsH7218 of the living creatureH2416 [was] as the colourH5869 of the terribleH3372(NiphPtc) crystal,H7140 stretched forthH5186(QalPasPtc) over their headsH7218 above.H4605 [23] And under the firmamentH7549 [were] their wingsH3671 straight,H3477 the oneH802 toward the other:H269 every oneH376 had two,H8147 which coveredH3680(PielPtc) on this side,H2007 and every oneH376 had two,H8147 which coveredH3680(PielPtc) on that side,H2007 their bodies.H1472 [24] And when they went,H3212(QalInf) I heardH8085(QalImpf) the noiseH6963 of their wings,H3671 like the noiseH6963 of greatH7227 waters,H4325 as the voiceH6963 of the Almighty,H7706 the voiceH6963 of speech,H1999 as the noiseH6963 of an host:H4264 when they stood,H5975(QalInf) they let downH7503(PielImpf) their wings.H3671 [25] And there was a voiceH6963 from the firmamentH7549 that [was] over their heads,H7218 when they stood,H5975(QalInf) [and] had let downH7503(PielImpf) their wings.H3671 [26] And aboveH4605 the firmamentH7549 that [was] over their headsH7218 [was] the likenessH1823 of a throne,H3678 as the appearanceH4758 of a sapphireH5601 stone:H68 and upon the likenessH1823 of the throneH3678 [was] the likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of a manH120 aboveH4605 upon it. [27] And I sawH7200(QalImpf) as the colourH5869 of amber,H2830 as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784 round aboutH5439 withinH1004 it, from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even upward,H4605 and from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downward,H4295 I sawH7200(QalPerf) as it were the appearanceH4758 of fire,H784 and it had brightnessH5051 round about.H5439 [28] As the appearanceH4758 of the bowH7198 that is in the cloudH6051 in the dayH3117 of rain,H1653 so [was] the appearanceH4758 of the brightnessH5051 round about.H5439 This [was] the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the gloryH3519 of the Lord.H3068 And when I sawH7200(QalImpf) [it], I fellH5307(QalImpf) upon my face,H6440 and I heardH8085(QalImpf) a voiceH6963 of one that spake.H1696(PielPtc)
