year
<08141>_,

in the fourth
<07243>

[month], in the fifth
<02568>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

as I [was] among
<08432>

the captives
<01473>

by the river
<05104>

of Chebar
<03529>_,

[that] the heavens
<08064>

were opened
<06605> (8738)_,

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came expressly unto Ezekiel
<03168>

the priest

the son
<01121>

of Buzi
<0941>_,

in the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>

by the river
<05104>

And I looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, a whirlwind
<07307> <05591>

came
<0935> (8802)

out of the north
<06828>_,

a great
<01419>

cloud
<06051>_,

and a fire
<0784>

infolding
<03947> (8693)

itself, and a brightness
<05051>

[was] about
<05439>

it, and out of the midst
<08432>

thereof as the colour
<05869>

of amber
<02830>_,

out of the midst
<08432>

of the fire
<0784>_.

{infolding...: Heb. catching itself}
