Ezekiel - ch 1 v 1 - 20
- Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
- On the fifth of the month, (it was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,)
- the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.
- And I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the look of glowing brass, out of the midst of the fire.
- Also out of the midst thereof, the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
- And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
- And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled as the look of burnished brass.
- And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings:
- their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
- And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle.
- And their faces and their wings were parted above; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
- And they went every one straight forward: whither the Spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.
- And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, as the appearance of torches: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright; and out of the fire went forth lightning.
- And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
- And I looked at the living creatures, and behold, one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, toward their four faces.
- The appearance of the wheels and their work was as the look of a chrysolite; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
- When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not when they went.
- As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about.
- And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
- Whithersoever the Spirit was to go, they went, thither would their spirit go; and the wheels were lifted up along with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
