Ezekiel - ch 1 v 1 - 20
- And it cometh to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth `month', in the fifth of the month, and I `am' in the midst of the Removed by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.
- In the fifth of the month -- it is the fifth year of the removal of the king Jehoiachin --
- hath the word of Jehovah certainly been unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of Jehovah.
- And I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, out of the midst of the fire.
- And out of its midst `is' a likeness of four living creatures, and this `is' their appearance; a likeness of man `is' to them,
- and four faces `are' to each, and four wings `are' to each of them,
- and their feet `are' straight feet, and the sole of their feet `is' as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass;
- and hands of man under their wings -- on their four sides, and their faces and their wings -- `are' to them four;
- joining one unto another `are' their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go.
- As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right `are' to them four, and the face of an ox on the left `are' to them four, and the face of an eagle `are' to them four.
- And their faces and their wings are separate from above, to each `are' two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
- And each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round in their going.
- As to the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances `are' as coals of fire -- burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness `is' to the fire, and out of the fire is going forth lightning.
- And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
- And I see the living creatures, and lo, one wheel `is' in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
- The appearance of the wheels and their works `is' as the colour of beryl, and one likeness `is' to them four, and their appearances and their works `are' as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.
- On their four sides, in their going they go, they turn not round in their going.
- As to their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings `are' full of eyes round about them four.
- And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels.
- Whither the spirit is to go, they go, thither the spirit `is' to go, and the wheels are lifted up over-against them, for a living spirit `is' in the wheels.
