Ezekiel 1
1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the thirtieth <7970>
year
<8141>, in the fourth <7243> [month], in the fifth
<2568> [day]
of the month <2320>, as I [was] among <8432> the
captives <1473>
by the river <5104> of Chebar <3529>, [that] the
heavens <8064>
were opened <6605>, and I saw <7200> visions <
4759> of God
<0430>.
2 In the fifth <2568> [day] of the month <2320>,
which <1958>
[was] the fifth <2549> year <8141> of king <
4428> Jehoiachin's
<3112> captivity <1546>,
3 The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <
1961> expressly unto
Ezekiel <3168> the priest <3548>, the son <1121>
of Buzi <0941>,
in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3779> by the
river <5104>
Chebar <3529>; and the hand <3027> of the LORD <
3068> was there
<8033> upon him.
4. And I looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, a
whirlwind came
<0935> out of the north <6828>, a great <1419>
cloud <6051>, and
a fire <0784> infolding <3947> itself, and a
brightness <5051>
[was] about <5439> it, and out of the midst <8432>
thereof as
the colour <5869> of amber <2830>, out of the midst
<8432> of
the fire <0784>.
5 Also out of the midst <8432> thereof [came] the likeness
<1823> of four <0702> living <2416> creatures
<2416>. And this
<2088> [was] their appearance <4758>; they had the
likeness
<1823> of a man <0120>.
6 And every one <0259> had four <0702> faces <
6440>, and every
one <0259> had four <0702> wings <3671>.
7 And their feet <7272> [were] straight <3474> feet
<7272>; and
the sole <3709> of their feet <7272> [was] like the
sole <3709>
of a calf's <5695> foot <7272>: and they sparkled <
5340> like
the colour <5869> of burnished <7044> brass <
5178>.
8 And [they had] the hands <3027> of a man <0120>
under <8478>
their wings <3671> on <5921> their four <0702>
sides <7253>; and
they four <0702> had their faces <6440> and their
wings <3671>.
9 Their wings <3671> [were] joined <2266> one <
0802> to another
<0269>; they turned <5437> not when they went <
3212>; they went
<3212> every <0376> one <0376> straight <
5676> forward <6440>.
10 As for the likeness <1823> of their faces <6440>,
they four
<0702> had the face <6440> of a man <0120>, and
the face <6440>
of a lion <0738>, on <0413> the right <3225>
side <3225>: and
they four <0702> had the face <6440> of an ox <
7794> on the left
<8040> side <8040>; they four <0702> also had
the face <6440> of
an eagle <5404>.
11 Thus [were] their faces <6440>: and their wings <
3671>
[were] stretched <6504> upward <4605>; two <
8147> [wings] of
every <0376> one <0376> [were] joined <2266>
one <0376> to
another <0376>, and two <8147> covered <3680>
their bodies
<1472>.
12 And they went <3212> every <0376> one <0376>
straight <5676>
forward <6440>: whither the spirit <7307> was to go
<3212>, they
went <3212>; [and] they turned <5437> not when they
went <3212>.
13 As for the likeness <1823> of the living <2416>
creatures
<2416>, their appearance <4758> [was] like burning
<1197> coals
<1513> of fire <0784>, [and] like the appearance <
4758> of lamps
<3940>: it went <1980> up and down among <0996>
the living
<2416> creatures <2416>; and the fire <0784>
was bright <5051>,
and out of the fire <0784> went <3318> forth <
3318> lightning
<1300>.
14 And the living <2416> creatures <2416> ran <
7519> and
returned <7725> as the appearance <4758> of a flash
<0965> of
lightning <0965>.
15. Now as I beheld <7200> the living <2416>
creatures <2416>,
behold <2009> one <0259> wheel <0212> upon the
earth <0776> by
the living <2416> creatures <2416>, with his four <
0702> faces
<6440>.
16 The appearance <4758> of the wheels <0212> and
their work
<4639> [was] like unto the colour <5869> of a beryl
<8658>: and
they four <0702> had one <0259> likeness <1823>:
and their
appearance <4758> and their work <4639> [was] as it
were a wheel
<0212> in the middle <8432> of a wheel <0212>.
17 When they went <3212>, they went <3212> upon
their four
<0702> sides <7253>: [and] they turned <5437>
not when they went
<3212>.
18 As for their rings <1354>, they were so high <
1362> that
they were dreadful <3374>; and their rings <1354>
[were] full
<4392> of eyes <5869> round <5439> about them
four <0702>.
19 And when the living <2416> creatures <2416> went
<3212>, the
wheels <0212> went <3212> by them: and when the
living <2416>
creatures <2416> were lifted <5375> up from the earth
<0776>,
the wheels <0212> were lifted <5375> up.
20 Whithersoever the spirit <7307> was to go <3212>,
they went
<3212>, thither <8033> [was their] spirit <7307>
to go <3212>;
and the wheels <0212> were lifted <5375> up over <
5980> against
<5980> them: for the spirit <7307> of the living <
2416> creature
<2416> [was] in the wheels <0212>.
21 When those went <3212>, [these] went <3212>; and
when those
stood <5975>, [these] stood <5975>; and when those
were lifted
<5375> up from the earth <0776>, the wheels <
0212> were lifted
<5375> up over <5980> against <5980> them: for
the spirit <7307>
of the living <2416> creature <2416> [was] in the
wheels <0212>.
22 And the likeness <1823> of the firmament <7549>
upon the
heads <7218> of the living <2416> creature <
2416> [was] as the
colour <5869> of the terrible <3372> crystal <
7140>, stretched
<5186> forth over <5921> their heads <7218>
above <4605>.
23 And under <8478> the firmament <7549> [were]
their wings
<3671> straight <3474>, the one <0802> toward
<0413> the other
<0269>: every <0376> one <0376> had two <
8147>, which covered
<3680> on this <2007> side, and every <0376>
one <0376> had two
<8147>, which covered <3680> on that side, their
bodies <1472>.
24 And when they went <3212>, I heard <8085> the
noise <6963>
of their wings <3671>, like the noise <6963> of great
<7227>
waters <4325>, as the voice <6963> of the Almighty
<7706>, the
voice <6963> of speech <1999>, as the noise <
6963> of an host
<4264>: when they stood <5975>, they let <7503>
down <7503>
their wings <3671>.
25 And there was a voice <6963> from the firmament <
7549> that
[was] over <5921> their heads <7218>, when they stood
<5975>,
[and] had let <7503> down <7503> their wings <
3671>.
26. And above <4605> the firmament <7549> that [was]
over
<5921> their heads <7218> [was] the likeness <
1823> of a throne
<3678>, as the appearance <4758> of a sapphire <
5601> stone <68>:
and upon the likeness <1823> of the throne <3678>
[was] the
likeness <1823> as the appearance <4758> of a man <
0120> above
<4605> upon it.
27 And I saw <7200> as the colour <5869> of amber
<2830>, as
the appearance <4758> of fire <0784> round <
5439> about within
<1004> it, from the appearance <4758> of his loins
<4975> even
upward <4605>, and from the appearance <4758> of his
loins
<4975> even downward <4295>, I saw <7200> as it
were the
appearance <4758> of fire <0784>, and it had
brightness <5051>
round <5439> about.
28 As the appearance <4758> of the bow <7198> that
is in the
cloud <6051> in the day <3117> of rain <1653>,
so <3651> [was]
the appearance <4758> of the brightness <5051> round
<5439>
about. This <1931> [was] the appearance <4758> of the
likeness
<1823> of the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068>.
And when I saw
<7200> [it], I fell <5307> upon my face <6440>,
and I heard
<8085> a voice <6963> of one that spake <1696>.
Ezekiel 2
1. And he said <0559> unto me, Son <1121> of man <
0120>, stand
<5975> upon thy feet <7272>, and I will speak <
1696> unto thee.
2 And the spirit <7307> entered <0935> into me when
<0834> he
spake <1696> unto me, and set <5975> me upon my feet
<7272>,
that I heard <8085> him that spake <1696> unto me.
3 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <1121> of man <
0120>, I send
<7971> thee to the children <1121> of Israel <
3478>, to a
rebellious <4775> nation <1471> that hath rebelled
<4775>
against me: they and their fathers <1> have transgressed
<6586>
against me, [even] unto this <2088> very <6106> day
<3117>.
4 For [they are] impudent children <1121> and stiffhearted.
I
do send <7971> thee unto them; and thou shalt say <
0559> unto
them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>
GOD <3069>.
5 And they, whether <0518> they will hear <8085>, or
whether
<0518> they will forbear <2308>, (for they [are] a
rebellious
<4805> house <1004>,) yet shall know <3045>
that there hath been
<1961> a prophet <5030> among <8432> them.
