Now it came to pass in the thirtiethH7970 yearH8141, in the fourthH7243 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I was amongH8432 the captivesH1473 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, that the heavensH8064 were openedH6605, and I sawH7200 visionsH4759 of GodH430. {captives: Heb. captivity}
In the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, which was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivityH1546,
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
And I lookedH7200, and, behold, a whirlwindH7307+H5591 cameH935 out of the northH6828, a greatH1419 cloudH6051, and a fireH784 infoldingH3947 itself, and a brightnessH5051 was aboutH5439 it, and out of the midstH8432 thereof as the colourH5869 of amberH2830, out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784. {infolding…: Heb. catching itself}
Also out of the midstH8432 thereof came the likenessH1823 of fourH702 living creaturesH2416. And this was their appearanceH4758; theyH2007 had the likenessH1823 of a manH120.
And every oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440, and every oneH259 had fourH702 wingsH3671.
And their feetH7272 were straightH3477 feetH7272; and the soleH3709 of their feetH7272 was like the soleH3709 of a calf'sH5695 footH7272: and they sparkledH5340 like the colourH5869 of burnishedH7044 brassH5178. {straight…: Heb. a straight foot}
And they had the handsH3027 of a manH120 under their wingsH3671 on their fourH702 sidesH7253; and they fourH702 had their facesH6440 and their wingsH3671.
Their wingsH3671 were joinedH2266 oneH802 to anotherH269; they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212; they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440.
As for the likenessH1823 of their facesH6440, they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of a manH120, and the faceH6440 of a lionH738, on the right sideH3225: and they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of an oxH7794 on the left sideH8040; they fourH702 also had the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.
Thus were their facesH6440: and their wingsH3671 were stretchedH6504 upwardH4605; twoH8147 wings of every oneH376 were joinedH2266 oneH376 to anotherH376, and twoH8147 coveredH3680 their bodiesH1472. {stretched…: or, divided above}
And they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440: whither the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212; and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212.
As for the likenessH1823 of the living creaturesH2416, their appearanceH4758 was like burningH1197 coalsH1513 of fireH784, and like the appearanceH4758 of lampsH3940: it went up and downH1980 among the living creaturesH2416; and the fireH784 was brightH5051, and out of the fireH784 went forthH3318 lightningH1300.
And the living creaturesH2416 ranH7519 and returnedH7725 as the appearanceH4758 of a flash of lightningH965.
Now as I beheldH7200 the living creaturesH2416, behold oneH259 wheelH212 upon the earthH776 byH681 the living creaturesH2416, with his fourH702 facesH6440.
The appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 and their workH4639 was like unto the colourH5869 of a berylH8658: and they fourH702 had oneH259 likenessH1823: and their appearanceH4758 and their workH4639 was as it were a wheelH212 in the middleH8432 of a wheelH212.
When they wentH3212, they wentH3212 upon their fourH702 sidesH7253: and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212.
As for their ringsH1354, they were so highH1363 that they were dreadfulH3374; and their ringsH1354 were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 round aboutH5439 them fourH702. {and their rings: or, and their strakes}
And when the living creaturesH2416 wentH3212, the wheelsH212 wentH3212 by themH681: and when the living creaturesH2416 were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375.
Whithersoever the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212, thither was their spiritH7307 to goH3212; and the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in the wheelsH212. {of…: or, of life}
When those wentH3212, these wentH3212; and when those stoodH5975, these stoodH5975; and when those were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in the wheelsH212. {of…: or, of life}
And the likenessH1823 of the firmamentH7549 upon the headsH7218 of the living creatureH2416 was as the colourH5869 of the terribleH3372 crystalH7140, stretched forthH5186 over their headsH7218 aboveH4605.
And under the firmamentH7549 were their wingsH3671 straightH3477, the oneH802 toward the otherH269: every oneH376 had twoH8147, which coveredH3680 on this sideH2007, and every oneH376 had twoH8147, which coveredH3680 on that sideH2007, their bodiesH1472.
And when they wentH3212, I heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of their wingsH3671, like the noiseH6963 of greatH7227 watersH4325, as the voiceH6963 of the AlmightyH7706, the voiceH6963 of speechH1999, as the noiseH6963 of an hostH4264: when they stoodH5975, they let downH7503 their wingsH3671.
And there was a voiceH6963 from the firmamentH7549 that was over their headsH7218, when they stoodH5975, and had let downH7503 their wingsH3671.
And aboveH4605 the firmamentH7549 that was over their headsH7218 was the likenessH1823 of a throneH3678, as the appearanceH4758 of a sapphireH5601 stoneH68: and upon the likenessH1823 of the throneH3678 was the likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of a manH120 aboveH4605 upon it.
And I sawH7200 as the colourH5869 of amberH2830, as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784 round aboutH5439 withinH1004 it, from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even upwardH4605, and from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downwardH4295, I sawH7200 as it were the appearanceH4758 of fireH784, and it had brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439.
As the appearanceH4758 of the bowH7198 that is in the cloudH6051 in the dayH3117 of rainH1653, so was the appearanceH4758 of the brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439. This was the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068. And when I sawH7200 it, I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of one that spakeH1696.

And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 from the wayH1870 of the eastH6921: and his voiceH6963 was like a noiseH6963 of manyH7227 watersH4325: and the earthH776 shinedH215 with his gloryH3519.
And the soundH6963 of the cherubims'H3742 wingsH3671 was heardH8085 even to the outerH2435 courtH2691, as the voiceH6963 of the AlmightyH7706 GodH410 when he speakethH1696.
His bodyH1472 also was like the berylH8658, and his faceH6440 as the appearanceH4758 of lightningH1300, and his eyesH5869 as lampsH3940 of fireH784, and his armsH2220 and his feetH4772 like in colourH5869 to polishedH7044 brassH5178, and the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697 like the voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995.

For the LordH136 had made the hostH4264 of the SyriansH758 to hearH8085 a noiseH6963 of chariotsH7393, and a noiseH6963 of horsesH5483, even the noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 hostH2428: and they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Lo, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 hath hiredH7936 against us the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and the kingsH4428 of the EgyptiansH4714, to comeH935 upon us.
AndG2532 I heardG191 as it wereG5613 the voiceG5456 of a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of mightyG2478 thunderingsG1027, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239: forG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 omnipotentG3841 reignethG936.

The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 is upon the watersH4325: the GodH410 of gloryH3519 thunderethH7481: the LORDH3068 is upon manyH7227 watersH4325. {many: or, great}
