Ezekiel 1:22-23

Context

1:22 Over the heads of the living beings was something like a platform, 1  glittering awesomely like ice, 2  stretched out over their heads. 1:23 Under the platform their wings were stretched out, each toward the other. Each of the beings also had two wings covering 3  its body.

[1:22]  1 tn Or “like a dome” (NCV, NRSV, TEV).

[1:22]  2 tn Or “like crystal” (NRSV, NLT).

[1:23]  3 tc Heb “each had two wings covering and each had two wings covering,” a case of dittography. On the analogy of v. 11 and the support of the LXX, which reads the same for v. 11 and this verse, one should perhaps read “each had two wings touching another being and each had two wings covering.”
