Ezekiel 1:3-28

1:3

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came expressly unto Ezekiel
<03168>

the priest
<03548>_,

the son
<01121>

of Buzi
<0941>_,

in the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>

by the river
<05104>

Chebar
<03529>_;

and the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}

1:4

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}

1:5

Also out of the midst
<08432>

thereof [came] the likeness
<01823>

of four
<0702>

living creatures
<02416>_.

And this [was] their appearance
<04758>_;

they
<02007>

had the likeness
<01823>

of a man
<0120>_.

1:6

And every one
<0259>

had four
<0702>

faces
<06440>_,

and every one
<0259>

had four
<0702>

wings
<03671>_.

1:7

And their feet
<07272>

[were] straight
<03477>

feet
<07272>_;

and the sole
<03709>

of their feet
<07272>

[was] like the sole
<03709>

of a calf's
<05695>

foot
<07272>_:

and they sparkled
<05340> (8802)

like the colour
<05869>

of burnished
<07044>

brass
<05178>_.

{straight...: Heb. a straight foot}

1:8

And [they had] the hands
<03027>

of a man
<0120>

under their wings
<03671>

on their four
<0702>

sides
<07253>_;

and they four
<0702>

had their faces
<06440>

and their wings
<03671>_.

1:9

Their wings
<03671>

[were] joined
<02266> (8802)

one
<0802>

to another
<0269>_;

they turned
<05437> (8735)

not when they went
<03212> (8800)_;

they went
<03212> (8799)

every one
<0376>

straight
<05676>

forward
<06440>_.

1:10

As for the likeness
<01823>

of their faces
<06440>_,

they four
<0702>

had the face
<06440>

of a man
<0120>_,

and the face
<06440>

of a lion
<0738>_,

on the right side
<03225>_:

and they four
<0702>

had the face
<06440>

of an ox
<07794>

on the left side
<08040>_;

they four
<0702>

also had the face
<06440>

of an eagle
<05404>_.

1:11

Thus [were] their faces
<06440>_:

and their wings
<03671>

[were] stretched
<06504> (8803)

upward
<04605>_;

two
<08147>

[wings] of every one
<0376>

[were] joined
<02266> (8802)

one
<0376>

to another
<0376>_,

and two
<08147>

covered
<03680> (8764)

their bodies
<01472>_.

{stretched...: or, divided above}

1:12

And they went
<03212> (8799)

every one
<0376>

straight
<05676>

forward
<06440>_:

whither the spirit
<07307>

was to go
<03212> (8800)_,

they went
<03212> (8799)_;

[and] they turned
<05437> (8735)

not when they went
<03212> (8800)_.

1:13

As for the likeness
<01823>

of the living creatures
<02416>_,

their appearance
<04758>

[was] like burning
<01197> (8802)

coals
<01513>

of fire
<0784>_,

[and] like the appearance
<04758>

of lamps
<03940>_:

it went up and down
<01980> (8693)

among the living creatures
<02416>_;

and the fire
<0784>

was bright
<05051>_,

and out of the fire
<0784>

went forth
<03318> (8802)

lightning
<01300>_.

1:14

And the living creatures
<02416>

ran
<07519> (8800)

and returned
<07725> (8800)

as the appearance
<04758>

of a flash of lightning
<0965>_.

1:15

Now as I beheld
<07200> (8799)

the living creatures
<02416>_,

behold one
<0259>

wheel
<0212>

upon the earth
<0776>

by
<0681>

the living creatures
<02416>_,

with his four
<0702>

faces
<06440>_.

1:16

The appearance
<04758>

of the wheels
<0212>

and their work
<04639>

[was] like unto the colour
<05869>

of a beryl
<08658>_:

and they four
<0702>

had one
<0259>

likeness
<01823>_:

and their appearance
<04758>

and their work
<04639>

[was] as it were a wheel
<0212>

in the middle
<08432>

of a wheel
<0212>_.

1:17

When they went
<03212> (8800)_,

they went
<03212> (8799)

upon their four
<0702>

sides
<07253>_:

[and] they turned
<05437> (8735)

not when they went
<03212> (8800)_.

1:18

As for their rings
<01354>_,

they were so high
<01363>

that they were dreadful
<03374>_;

and their rings
<01354>

[were] full
<04392>

of eyes
<05869>

round about
<05439>

them four
<0702>_.

{and their rings: or, and their strakes}

1:19

And when the living creatures
<02416>

went
<03212> (8800)_,

the wheels
<0212>

went
<03212> (8799)

by them
<0681>_:

and when the living creatures
<02416>

were lifted up
<05375> (8736)

from the earth
<0776>_,

the wheels
<0212>

were lifted up
<05375> (8735)_.

1:20

Whithersoever the spirit
<07307>

was to go
<03212> (8800)_,

they went
<03212> (8799)_,

thither [was their] spirit
<07307>

to go
<03212> (8800)_;

and the wheels
<0212>

were lifted up
<05375> (8735)

over against
<05980>

them: for the spirit
<07307>

of the living creature
<02416>

[was] in the wheels
<0212>_.

{of...: or, of life}

1:21

When those went
<03212> (8800)_,

[these] went
<03212> (8799)_;

and when those stood
<05975> (8800)_,

[these] stood
<05975> (8799)_;

and when those were lifted up
<05375> (8736)

from the earth
<0776>_,

the wheels
<0212>

were lifted up
<05375> (8735)

over against
<05980>

them: for the spirit
<07307>

of the living creature
<02416>

[was] in the wheels
<0212>_.

{of...: or, of life}

1:22

And the likeness
<01823>

of the firmament
<07549>

upon the heads
<07218>

of the living creature
<02416>

[was] as the colour
<05869>

of the terrible
<03372> (8737)

crystal
<07140>_,

stretched forth
<05186> (8803)

over their heads
<07218>

above
<04605>_.

1:23

And under the firmament
<07549>

[were] their wings
<03671>

straight
<03477>_,

the one
<0802>

toward the other
<0269>_:

every one
<0376>

had two
<08147>_,

which covered
<03680> (8764)

on this side
<02007>_,

and every one
<0376>

had two
<08147>_,

which covered
<03680> (8764)

on that side
<02007>_,

their bodies
<01472>_.

1:24

And when they went
<03212> (8800)_,

I heard
<08085> (8799)

the noise
<06963>

of their wings
<03671>_,

like the noise
<06963>

of great
<07227>

waters
<04325>_,

as the voice
<06963>

of the Almighty
<07706>_,

the voice
<06963>

of speech
<01999>_,

as the noise
<06963>

of an host
<04264>_:

when they stood
<05975> (8800)_,

they let down
<07503> (8762)

their wings
<03671>_.

1:25

And there was a voice
<06963>

from the firmament
<07549>

that [was] over their heads
<07218>_,

when they stood
<05975> (8800)_,

[and] had let down
<07503> (8762)

their wings
<03671>_.

1:26

And above
<04605>

the firmament
<07549>

that [was] over their heads
<07218>

[was] the likeness
<01823>

of a throne
<03678>_,

as the appearance
<04758>

of a sapphire
<05601>

stone
<068>_:

and upon the likeness
<01823>

of the throne
<03678>

[was] the likeness
<01823>

as the appearance
<04758>

of a man
<0120>

above
<04605>

upon it.

1:27

And I saw
<07200> (8799)

as the colour
<05869>

of amber
<02830>_,

as the appearance
<04758>

of fire
<0784>

round about
<05439>

within
<01004>

it, from the appearance
<04758>

of his loins
<04975>

even upward
<04605>_,

and from the appearance
<04758>

of his loins
<04975>

even downward
<04295>_,

I saw
<07200> (8804)

as it were the appearance
<04758>

of fire
<0784>_,

and it had brightness
<05051>

round about
<05439>_.

1:28

As the appearance
<04758>

of the bow
<07198>

that is in the cloud
<06051>

in the day
<03117>

of rain
<01653>_,

so [was] the appearance
<04758>

of the brightness
<05051>

round about
<05439>_.

This [was] the appearance
<04758>

of the likeness
<01823>

of the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And when I saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], I fell
<05307> (8799)

upon my face
<06440>_,

and I heard
<08085> (8799)

a voice
<06963>

of one that spake
<01696> (8764)_.
