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 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.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 cameG4334 and spakeG2980 unto themG846, sayingG3004, AllG3956 powerG1849 is givenG1325 unto meG3427 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 inG1909 earthG1093.
Thy throneH3678, O GodH430, is for everH5769 and everH5703: the sceptreH7626 of thy kingdomH4438 is a rightH4334 sceptreH7626.
And they sawH7200 the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: and there was under his feetH7272 as it were a pavedH3840 workH4639 of a sapphire stoneH5601, and as it were the bodyH6106 of heavenH8064 in his clearnessH2892.
And JacobH3290 was leftH3498 alone; and there wrestledH79 a manH376 with him until the breakingH5927 of the dayH7837. {breaking…: Heb. ascending of the morning}
And when he sawH7200 that he prevailedH3201 not against him, he touchedH5060 the hollow of his thighH3409; and the hollowH3709 of Jacob'sH3290 thighH3409 was out of jointH3363, as he wrestledH79 with him.
And he saidH559, Let me goH7971, for the dayH7837 breakethH5927. And he saidH559, I will not let thee goH7971, exceptH518 thou blessH1288 me.
And he saidH559 unto him, What is thy nameH8034? And he saidH559, JacobH3290.
And he saidH559, Thy nameH8034 shall be calledH559 no more JacobH3290, but IsraelH3478: for as a prince hast thou powerH8280 with GodH430 and with menH582, and hast prevailedH3201. {Israel: that is, A prince of God}
And JacobH3290 askedH7592 him, and saidH559, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, thy nameH8034. And he saidH559, Wherefore is itH2088 that thou dost askH7592 after my nameH8034? And he blessedH1288 him there.
And JacobH3290 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 PenielH6439: for I have seenH7200 GodH430 faceH6440 to faceH6440, and my lifeH5315 is preservedH5337. {Peniel: that is, The face of God}
Then I lookedH7200, and, behold, in the firmamentH7549 that was above the headH7218 of the cherubimsH3742 there appearedH7200 over them as it were a sapphireH5601 stoneH68, as the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of a throneH3678.
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 UzziahH5818 diedH4194 I sawH7200 alsoH853 the LordH136 sittingH3427 upon a throneH3678, highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and his trainH7757 filledH4392+H853 the templeH1964. {his…: or, the skirts thereof}
O thou afflictedH6041, tossed with tempestH5590, and not comfortedH5162, behold, I will layH7257 thy stonesH68 with fair coloursH6320, and lay thy foundationsH3245 with sapphiresH5601.
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 was by JerichoH3405, that he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 a manH376 over against him with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and JoshuaH3091 wentH3212 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversariesH6862?
And he saidH559, Nay; but as captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the LORDH3068 am I now comeH935. And JoshuaH3091 fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776, and did worshipH7812, and saidH559 unto him, What saithH1696 my lordH113 unto his servantH5650? {captain: or, prince}
And the captainH8269 of the LORD'SH3068 hostH6635 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, LooseH5394 thy shoeH5275 from off thy footH7272; for the placeH4725 whereon thou standestH5975 is holyH6944. And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 so.
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
I beheldH1934+H2370 tillH5705 the thronesH3764 were cast downH7412, and the AncientH6268 of daysH3118 did sitH3488, whose garmentH3831 was whiteH2358 as snowH8517, and the hairH8177 of his headH7217 like the pureH5343 woolH6015: his throneH3764 was like the fieryH5135 flameH7631, and his wheelsH1535 as burningH1815 fireH5135.
Now JerichoH3405 was straitlyH5462 shut upH5462 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: none went outH3318, and none came inH935. {was…: Heb. did shut up, and was shut up}
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 hath highly exaltedG5251 himG846, andG2532 givenG5483 himG846 a nameG3686 whichG3588 is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686:
A fieryH5135 streamH5103 issuedH5047 and came forthH5312 fromH4481 beforeH6925 him: thousandH506 thousandsH506 ministeredH8120 unto him, and ten thousandH7240 times ten thousandH7240 stoodH6966 beforeH6925 him: the judgmentH1780 was setH3488, and the booksH5609 were openedH6606.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, SeeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thine handH3027 JerichoH3405, and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
ThatG2443 atG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 everyG3956 kneeG1119 should bowG2578, of things in heavenG2032, andG2532 things in earthG1919, andG2532 things under the earthG2709;
And there was givenH3052 him dominionH7985, and gloryH3367, and a kingdomH4437, that allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, should serveH6399 him: his dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, which shall notH3809 pass awayH5709, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255.
For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205, unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289, The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
WhoG3739 is goneG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and isG2076 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316; angelsG32 andG2532 authoritiesG1849 andG2532 powersG1411 being made subjectG5293 unto himG846.
Even he shall buildH1129 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068; and he shall bearH5375 the gloryH1935, and shall sitH3427 and ruleH4910 upon his throneH3678; and he shall be a priestH3548 upon his throneH3678: and the counselH6098 of peaceH7965 shall be between them bothH8147.
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
WatchG1127 thereforeG3767, forG3754 ye knowG1492 neitherG3756 the dayG2250 norG3761 the hourG5610 whereinG1722+G3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 comethG2064.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965 unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427 and prosperH7919, and shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776.
ButG1161 untoG4314 the SonG5207 he saith, ThyG4675 throneG2362, O GodG2316, is forG1519 everG165 and everG165: a sceptreG4464 of righteousnessG2118 is the sceptreG4464 of thyG4675 kingdomG932. {righteousness: Gr. rightness, or, straightness}
In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467, and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. {THE LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
NowG1161 ofG1909 the things which we have spokenG3004 this is the sumG2774: We haveG2192 suchG5108 an high priestG749, whoG3739 is setG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of the MajestyG3172 inG1722 the heavensG3772;
Then there came againH3254 and touchedH5060 me one like the appearanceH4758 of a manH120, and he strengthenedH2388 me,
LookingG872 untoG1519 JesusG2424 the authorG747 andG2532 finisherG5051 of our faithG4102; whoG3739 forG473 the joyG5479 that was set beforeG4295 himG846 enduredG5278 the crossG4716, despisingG2706 the shameG152, andG5037 is set downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of GodG2316. {author: or, beginner}
AndG2532 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the sevenG2033 candlesticksG3087 one likeG3664 unto the SonG5207 of manG444, clothed with a garmentG1746 down to the footG4158, andG2532 girtG4024 aboutG4314 the papsG3149 with a goldenG5552 girdleG2223.
AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 I wasG1096 inG1722 the spiritG4151: andG2532, beholdG2400, a throneG2362 was setG2749 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 one satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362.
To himG846 that overcomethG3528 will I grantG1325 to sitG2523 withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 myG3450 throneG2362, evenG2504 asG5613 I alsoG2504 overcameG3528, andG2532 am set downG2523 withG3326 myG3450 FatherG3962 inG1722 hisG846 throneG2362.
AndG2532 he that satG2521 wasG2258 to look uponG3706 likeG3664 a jasperG2393 andG2532 a sardineG4555 stoneG3037: andG2532 there was a rainbowG2463 round aboutG2943 the throneG2362, in sightG3706 likeG3664 unto an emeraldG4664.
AndG2532 I lookedG1492, andG2532 beholdG2400 a whiteG3022 cloudG3507, andG2532 uponG1909 the cloudG3507 one satG2521 likeG3664 unto the SonG5207 of manG444, havingG2192 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776 a goldenG5552 crownG4735, andG2532 inG1722 hisG846 handG5495 a sharpG3691 sickleG1407.
AndG2532 everyG3956 creatureG2938 whichG3739 isG2076 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 onG1722 the earthG1093, andG2532 underG5270 the earthG1093, andG2532 such asG3739 areG2076 inG1909 the seaG2281, andG2532 allG3956 that are inG1722 themG846, heard IG191 sayingG3004, BlessingG2129, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 powerG2904, be unto him that sittethG2521 uponG1909 the throneG2362, andG2532 unto the LambG721 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
