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.

I do setH5414 my bowH7198 in the cloudH6051, and it shall be for a tokenH226 of a covenantH1285 between me and the earthH776.
And it shall come to pass, when I bringH6049 a cloudH6051 over the earthH776, that the bowH7198 shall be seenH7200 in the cloudH6051:
And I will rememberH2142 my covenantH1285, which is between me and you and every livingH2416 creatureH5315 of all fleshH1320; and the watersH4325 shall no moreH5750 become a floodH3999 to destroyH7843 all fleshH1320.
And the bowH7198 shall be in the cloudH6051; and I will look upon itH7200, that I may rememberH2142 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 betweenH996 GodH430 andH996 every livingH2416 creatureH5315 of all fleshH1320 that is upon the earthH776.
And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was there, according to the visionH4758 that I sawH7200 in the plainH1237.
Then I aroseH6965, and went forthH3318 into the plainH1237: and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 there, as the gloryH3519 which I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529: and I fellH5307 on my faceH6440.
In a littleH8241 wrathH7110 I hidH5641 my faceH6440 from thee for a momentH7281; but with everlastingH5769 kindnessH2617 will I have mercyH7355 on thee, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy RedeemerH1350.
For this is as the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 unto me: for as I have swornH7650 that the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 should no more go overH5674 the earthH776; so have I swornH7650 that I would not be wrothH7107 with thee, nor rebukeH1605 thee.
For the mountainsH2022 shall departH4185, and the hillsH1389 be removedH4131; but my kindnessH2617 shall not departH4185 from thee, neither shall the covenantH1285 of my peaceH7965 be removedH4131, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that hath mercyH7355 on thee.
And the cherubimsH3742 lifted upH5375 their wingsH3671, and mounted upH7426 from the earthH776 in my sightH5869: when they went outH3318, the wheelsH212 also were besideH5980 them, and every one stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was over them aboveH4605.
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.
This is the living creatureH2416 that I sawH7200 under the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529; and I knewH3045 that they were the cherubimsH3742.
And there cameH3318 a fireH784 out from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and consumedH398 upon the altarH4196 the burnt offeringH5930 and the fatH2459: which when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200, they shoutedH7442, and fellH5307 on their facesH6440.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 anotherG243 mightyG2478 angelG32 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, clothedG4016 with a cloudG3507: andG2532 a rainbowG2463 was uponG1909 hisG846 headG2776, andG2532 hisG846 faceG4383 was as it wereG5613 the sunG2246, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 asG5613 pillarsG4769 of fireG4442:
And it was according to the appearanceH4758 of the visionH4758 which I sawH7200, even according to the visionH4758 that I sawH7200 when I cameH935 to destroyH7843 the cityH5892: and the visionsH4759 were like the visionH4758 that I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440. {when…: or, when I came to prophesy that the city should be destroyed}
So he cameH935 nearH681 where I stoodH5977: and when he cameH935, I was afraidH1204, and fellH5307 upon my faceH6440: but he saidH559 unto me, UnderstandH995, O sonH1121 of manH120: for at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall be the visionH2377.
And in the morningH1242, then ye shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068; for that he hearethH8085 your murmuringsH8519 against the LORDH3068: and what are weH5168, that ye murmurH3885+H3885 against us?
And I DanielH1840 alone sawH7200 the visionH4759: for the menH582 that were with me sawH7200 not the visionH4759; butH61 a greatH1419 quakingH2731 fellH5307 upon them, so that they fledH1272 to hideH2244 themselves.
Therefore I was left aloneH7604, and sawH7200 this greatH1419 visionH4759, and there remainedH7604 no strengthH3581 in me: for my comelinessH1935 was turnedH2015 in me into corruptionH4889, and I retainedH6113 no strengthH3581. {comeliness: or, vigour}
Yet heardH8085 I the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697: and when I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697, then was I in a deep sleepH7290 on my faceH6440, and my faceH6440 toward the groundH776.
And it came to pass, as AaronH175 spakeH1696 unto the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they lookedH6437 toward the wildernessH4057, and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051.
And, behold, one like the similitudeH1823 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 touchedH5060 my lipsH8193: then I openedH6605 my mouthH6310, and spakeH1696, and saidH559 unto him that stoodH5975 before me, O my lordH113, by the visionH4759 my sorrowsH6735 are turnedH2015 upon me, and I have retainedH6113 no strengthH3581.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 abodeH7931 upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it sixH8337 daysH3117: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he calledH7121 unto MosesH4872 out of the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051.
For howH1963 canH3201 the servantH5650 of this my lordH113 talkH1696 with this my lordH113? for as for me, straightwayH6258 there remainedH5975 no strengthH3581 in me, neither is there breathH5397 leftH7604 in me. {the…: or, this servant of my lord}
And he saidH559, I beseech theeH4994, shewH7200 me thy gloryH3519.
And he saidH559, I will make all my goodnessH2898 passH5674 before thee, and I will proclaimH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 thee; and will be graciousH2603 to whom I will be graciousH2603, and will shew mercyH7355 on whom I will shew mercyH7355.
And he saidH559, Thou canstH3201 not seeH7200 my faceH6440: for there shall no manH120 seeH7200 me, and liveH2425.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Behold, there is a placeH4725 by me, and thou shalt standH5324 upon a rockH6697:
And it shall come to pass, while my gloryH3519 passeth byH5674, that I will putH7760 thee in a cliftH5366 of the rockH6697, and will coverH5526 thee with my handH3709 whileH5704 I pass byH5674:
And I will takeH5493 away mine handH3709, and thou shalt seeH7200 my back partsH268: but my faceH6440 shall not be seenH7200.
While heG846 yetG2089 spakeG2980, beholdG2400, a brightG5460 cloudG3507 overshadowedG1982 themG846: andG2532 beholdG2400 a voiceG5456 out ofG1537 the cloudG3507, which saidG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1722 whomG3739 I am well pleasedG2106; hear yeG191 himG846.
And he saidH559, HearH8085 now my wordsH1697: If there be a prophetH5030 among you, I the LORDH3068 will make myself knownH3045 unto him in a visionH4759, and will speakH1696 unto him in a dreamH2472.
My servantH5650 MosesH4872 is not so, who is faithfulH539 in all mine houseH1004.
With him will I speakH1696 mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, even apparentlyH4758, and not in dark speechesH2420; and the similitudeH8544 of the LORDH3068 shall he beholdH5027: wherefore then were ye not afraidH3372 to speakH1696 against my servantH5650 MosesH4872?
AndG2532 when the disciplesG3101 heardG191 it, they fellG4098 onG1909 theirG846 faceG4383, andG2532 were soreG4970 afraidG5399.
And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 were come outH3318 of the holyH6944 place, that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
AndG2532 he fellG4098 toG1909 the earthG1093, and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto himG846, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165?
So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not standH5975 to ministerH8334 becauseH6440 of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
AndG2532 whenG3753 I sawG1492 himG846, I fellG4098 atG4314 hisG846 feetG4228 asG5613 deadG3498. AndG2532 he laidG2007 hisG846 rightG1188 handG5495 uponG1909 meG1691, sayingG3004 unto meG3427, FearG5399 notG3361; IG1473 amG1510 the firstG4413 andG2532 the lastG2078:
