Ezekiel 1:1--3:27

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth
<07970>
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)_,
and I saw
<07200> (8799)
visions
<04759>
of God
<0430>_.
{captives: Heb. captivity}
In the fifth
<02568>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
which [was] the fifth
<02549>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Jehoiachin's
<03112>
captivity
<01546>_,
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}
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}
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>_.
And every one
<0259>
had four
<0702>
faces
<06440>_,
and every one
<0259>
had four
<0702>
wings
<03671>_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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)_.
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>_.
And the living creatures
<02416>
ran
<07519> (8800)
and returned
<07725> (8800)
as the appearance
<04758>
of a flash of lightning
<0965>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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}
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)_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
stand
<05975> (8798)
upon thy feet
<07272>_,
and I will speak
<01696> (8762)
unto thee.
And the spirit
<07307>
entered
<0935> (8799)
into me when he spake
<01696> (8765)
unto me, and set
<05975> (8686)
me upon my feet
<07272>_,
that I heard
<08085> (8799)
him that spake
<01696> (8693)
unto me.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
I send
<07971> (8802)
thee to the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
to a rebellious
<04775> (8802)
nation
<01471>
that hath rebelled
<04775> (8804)
against me: they and their fathers
<01>
have transgressed
<06586> (8804)
against me, [even] unto this very
<06106>
day
<03117>_.
{nation: Heb. nations}
For [they are] impudent
<07186> <06440>
children
<01121>
and stiffhearted
<02389> <03820>_.
I do send
<07971> (8802)
thee unto them; and thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
{impudent: Heb. hard of face}
And they, whether they will hear
<08085> (8799)_,
or whether they will forbear
<02308> (8799)_,
(for they [are] a rebellious
<04805>
house
<01004>,)
yet shall know
<03045> (8804)
that there hath been a prophet
<05030>
among
<08432>
them.
And thou, son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of them, neither be afraid
<03372> (8799)
of their words
<01697>_,
though briers
<05621>
and thorns
<05544>
[be] with thee, and thou dost dwell
<03427> (8802)
among scorpions
<06137>_:
be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of their words
<01697>_,
nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)
at their looks
<06440>_,
though they [be] a rebellious
<04805>
house
<01004>_.
{briers...: or, rebels}
And thou shalt speak
<01696> (8765)
my words
<01697>
unto them, whether they will hear
<08085> (8799)_,
or whether they will forbear
<02308> (8799)_:
for they [are] most rebellious
<04805>_.
{most...: Heb. rebellion}
But thou, son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
what I say
<01696> (8764)
unto thee; Be not
<01961> (8799)
thou rebellious
<04805>
like that rebellious
<04805>
house
<01004>_:
open
<06475> (8798)
thy mouth
<06310>_,
and eat
<0398> (8798)
that I give
<05414> (8802)
thee.
And when I looked
<07200> (8799)_,
behold, an hand
<03027>
[was] sent
<07971> (8803)
unto me; and, lo, a roll
<04039>
of a book
<05612>
[was] therein;
And he spread
<06566> (8799)
it before
<06440>
me; and it [was] written
<03789> (8803)
within
<06440>
and without
<0268>_:
and [there was] written
<03789> (8803)
therein lamentations
<07015>_,
and mourning
<01899>_,
and woe
<01958>_.
Moreover he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
eat
<0398> (8798)
that thou findest
<04672> (8799)_;
eat
<0398> (8798)
this roll
<04039>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)
speak
<01696> (8761)
unto the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_.
So I opened
<06605> (8799)
my mouth
<06310>_,
and he caused me to eat
<0398> (8686)
that roll
<04039>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
cause thy belly
<0990>
to eat
<0398> (8686)_,
and fill
<04390> (8762)
thy bowels
<04578>
with this roll
<04039>
that I give
<05414> (8802)
thee. Then did I eat
<0398> (8799)
[it]; and it was in my mouth
<06310>
as honey
<01706>
for sweetness
<04966>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
go
<03212> (8798)_,
get
<0935> (8798)
thee unto the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
with my words
<01697>
unto them.
For thou [art] not sent
<07971> (8803)
to a people
<05971>
of a strange
<06012>
speech
<08193>
and of an hard
<03515>
language
<03956>_,
[but] to the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_;
{of a...: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of tongue}
Not to many
<07227>
people
<05971>
of a strange
<06012>
speech
<08193>
and of an hard
<03515>
language
<03956>_,
whose words
<01697>
thou canst not understand
<08085> (8799)_.
Surely, had I sent
<07971> (8804)
thee to them, they would have hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto thee. {of a...: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of language} {Surely...: or, If I had sent thee, etc. would they not have hearkened unto thee?}
But the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
will
<014> (8799)
not hearken
<08085> (8800)
unto thee; for they will
<014> (8802)
not hearken
<08085> (8800)
unto me: for all the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
[are] impudent
<02389> <04696>
and hardhearted
<07186> <03820>_.
{impudent...: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}
Behold, I have made
<05414> (8804)
thy face
<06440>
strong
<02389>
against
<05980>
their faces
<06440>_,
and thy forehead
<04696>
strong
<02389>
against
<05980>
their foreheads
<04696>_.
As an adamant
<08068>
harder
<02389>
than flint
<06864>
have I made
<05414> (8804)
thy forehead
<04696>_:
fear
<03372> (8799)
them not, neither be dismayed
<02865> (8735)
at their looks
<06440>_,
though they [be] a rebellious
<04805>
house
<01004>_.
Moreover he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
all my words
<01697>
that I shall speak
<01696> (8762)
unto thee receive
<03947> (8798)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
with thine ears
<0241>_.
And go
<03212> (8798)_,
get
<0935> (8798)
thee to them of the captivity
<01473>_,
unto the children
<01121>
of thy people
<05971>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
unto them, and tell
<0559> (8804)
them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
whether they will hear
<08085> (8799)_,
or whether they will forbear
<02308> (8799)_.
Then the spirit
<07307>
took me up
<05375> (8799)_,
and I heard
<08085> (8799)
behind
<0310>
me a voice
<06963>
of a great
<01419>
rushing
<07494>_,
[saying], Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
from his place
<04725>_.
[I heard] also the noise
<06963>
of the wings
<03671>
of the living creatures
<02416>
that touched
<05401> (8688)
one
<0802>
another
<0269>_,
and the noise
<06963>
of the wheels
<0212>
over against
<05980>
them, and a noise
<06963>
of a great
<01419>
rushing
<07494>_.
{touched: Heb. kissed}
So the spirit
<07307>
lifted me up
<05375> (8804)_,
and took me away
<03947> (8799)_,
and I went
<03212> (8799)
in bitterness
<04751>_,
in the heat
<02534>
of my spirit
<07307>_;
but the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was strong
<02388> (8804)
upon me. {in bitterness: Heb. bitter} {heat: Heb. hot anger}
Then I came
<0935> (8799)
to them of the captivity
<01473>
at Telabib
<08512>_,
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
by the river
<05104>
of Chebar
<03529>_,
and I sat
<03427> (8799)
where they sat
<03427> (8799)_,
and remained
<03427> (8799)
there astonished
<08074> (8688)
among
<08432>
them seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_.
And it came to pass at the end
<07097>
of seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
I have made
<05414> (8804)
thee a watchman
<06822> (8802)
unto the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_:
therefore hear
<08085> (8804)
the word
<01697>
at my mouth
<06310>_,
and give them warning
<02094> (8689)
from me.
When I say
<0559> (8800)
unto the wicked
<07563>_,
Thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_;
and thou givest him not warning
<02094> (8689)_,
nor speakest
<01696> (8765)
to warn
<02094> (8687)
the wicked
<07563>
from his wicked
<07563>
way
<01870>_,
to save his life
<02421> (8763)_;
the same wicked
<07563>
[man] shall die
<04191> (8799)
in his iniquity
<05771>_;
but his blood
<01818>
will I require
<01245> (8762)
at thine hand
<03027>_.
Yet if thou warn
<02094> (8689)
the wicked
<07563>_,
and he turn
<07725> (8804)
not from his wickedness
<07562>_,
nor from his wicked
<07563>
way
<01870>_,
he shall die
<04191> (8799)
in his iniquity
<05771>_;
but thou hast delivered
<05337> (8689)
thy soul
<05315>_.
Again
<07725> (0)_,
When a righteous
<06662>
[man] doth turn
<07725> (8800)
from his righteousness
<06664>_,
and commit
<06213> (8804)
iniquity
<05766>_,
and I lay
<05414> (8804)
a stumblingblock
<04383>
before
<06440>
him, he shall die
<04191> (8799)_:
because thou hast not given him warning
<02094> (8689)_,
he shall die
<04191> (8799)
in his sin
<02403>_,
and his righteousness
<06666>
which he hath done
<06213> (8804)
shall not be remembered
<02142> (8735)_;
but his blood
<01818>
will I require
<01245> (8762)
at thine hand
<03027>_.
{righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}
Nevertheless if thou warn
<02094> (8689)
the righteous
<06662>
[man], that the righteous
<06662>
sin
<02398> (8800)
not, and he doth not sin
<02398> (8804)_,
he shall surely
<02421> (8800)
live
<02421> (8799)_,
because he is warned
<02094> (8737)_;
also thou hast delivered
<05337> (8689)
thy soul
<05315>_.
And the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was there upon me; and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
go forth
<03318> (8798)
into the plain
<01237>_,
and I will there talk
<01696> (8762)
with thee.
Then I arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went forth
<03318> (8799)
into the plain
<01237>_:
and, behold, the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
stood
<05975> (8802)
there, as the glory
<03519>
which I saw
<07200> (8804)
by the river
<05104>
of Chebar
<03529>_:
and I fell
<05307> (8799)
on my face
<06440>_.
Then the spirit
<07307>
entered
<0935> (8799)
into me, and set
<05975> (8686)
me upon my feet
<07272>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
with me, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Go
<0935> (8798)_,
shut
<05462> (8734)
thyself within
<08432>
thine house
<01004>_.
But thou, O son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
behold, they shall put
<05414> (8804)
bands
<05688>
upon thee, and shall bind
<0631> (8804)
thee with them, and thou shalt not go out
<03318> (8799)
among
<08432>
them:
And I will make thy tongue
<03956>
cleave
<01692> (8686)
to the roof of thy mouth
<02441>_,
that thou shalt be dumb
<0481> (8738)_,
and shalt not be to them a reprover
<0376> <03198> (8688)_:
for they [are] a rebellious
<04805>
house
<01004>_.
{a reprover: Heb. a man reproving}
But when I speak
<01696> (8763)
with
<0854>
thee, I will open
<06605> (8799)
thy mouth
<06310>_,
and thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
He that heareth
<08085> (8802)_,
let him hear
<08085> (8799)_;
and he that forbeareth
<02310>_,
let him forbear
<02308> (8799)_:
for they [are] a rebellious
<04805>
house
<01004>_.
