Ezekiel - ch 1 v 1 - 20

  1. Now it happened 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, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
  2. In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
  3. the word of Yahweh came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Yahweh 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 its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.
  5. Out of its midst 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; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.
  8. They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings thus:
  9. their wings were joined one to 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; 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.
  11. Their faces and their wings were separate above; two wings of each one were joined one to 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; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
  14. The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
  15. Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, 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: and they four had one likeness; and 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 they four had their rims full of eyes all around.
  19. 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.
  20. Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
