Ezekiel 1:7

1:7 Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like calves’ feet. They gleamed ¹  like polished bronze.

Revelation 1:15

1:15 His feet were like polished bronze ²  refined ³  in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar ⁴  of many waters.

Revelation 10:1

The Angel with the Little Scroll

10:1 Then ⁵  I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped ⁶  in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire. ⁷ 

[1:7]  ¹ sn The Hebrew verb translated gleamed occurs only here in the OT.

[1:15]  ² tn The precise meaning of the term translated “polished bronze” (χαλκολιβάνῳ, calkolibanw), which appears nowhere else in Greek literature outside of the book of Revelation (see 2:18), is uncertain. Without question it is some sort of metal. BDAG 1076 s.v. χαλκολίβανον suggests “fine brass/bronze.” L&N 2.57 takes the word to refer to particularly valuable or fine bronze, but notes that the emphasis here and in Rev 2:18 is more on the lustrous quality of the metal.

[1:15]  ³ tn Or “that has been heated in a furnace until it glows.”

[1:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “sound,” but the idea is closer to the roar of a waterfall or rapids.

[10:1]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[10:1]  ⁶ tn Or “clothed.”

[10:1]  ⁷ tn Or “like fiery pillars,” translating πυρός (puros) as an attributive genitive.
