1	Now it came to pass in the thirtieth7970 year8141 , in the fourth7243 month , in the fifth2568 day of the month2320 , as I was among8432 the captives1473 by the river5104 of Chebar3529 , that the heavens8064 were opened6605 8738 , and I saw7200 8799 visions4759 of God430 . [captives: Heb. captivity]
			2	In the fifth2568 day of the month2320 , which was the fifth2549 year8141 of king4428 Jehoiachin's3112 captivity1546 ,
			3	The word1697 of the LORD3068 came expressly unto Ezekiel3168 the priest3548 , the son1121 of Buzi941 , in the land776 of the Chaldeans3778 by the river5104 Chebar3529 ; and the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was there upon him. [Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel]
			4	And I looked7200 8799 , and, behold, a whirlwind7307 5591 came935 8802 out of the north6828 , a great1419 cloud6051 , and a fire784 infolding3947 8693 itself, and a brightness5051 was about5439 it, and out of the midst8432 thereof as the colour5869 of amber2830 , out of the midst8432 of the fire784 . [infolding...: Heb. catching itself]
			5	Also out of the midst8432 thereof came the likeness1823 of four702 living creatures2416 . And this was their appearance4758 ; they2007 had the likeness1823 of a man120 .
			6	And every one259 had four702 faces6440 , and every one259 had four702 wings3671 .
			7	And their feet7272 were straight3477 feet7272 ; and the sole3709 of their feet7272 was like the sole3709 of a calf's5695 foot7272 : and they sparkled5340 8802 like the colour5869 of burnished7044 brass5178 . [straight...: Heb. a straight foot]
			8	And they had the hands3027 of a man120 under their wings3671 on their four702 sides7253 ; and they four702 had their faces6440 and their wings3671 .
			9	Their wings3671 were joined2266 8802 one802 to another269 ; they turned5437 8735 not when they went3212 8800 ; they went3212 8799 every one376 straight5676 forward6440 .
			10	As for the likeness1823 of their faces6440 , they four702 had the face6440 of a man120 , and the face6440 of a lion738 , on the right side3225 : and they four702 had the face6440 of an ox7794 on the left side8040 ; they four702 also had the face6440 of an eagle5404 .
			11	Thus were their faces6440 : and their wings3671 were stretched6504 8803 upward4605 ; two8147 wings of every one376 were joined2266 8802 one376 to another376 , and two8147 covered3680 8764 their bodies1472 . [stretched...: or, divided above]
			12	And they went3212 8799 every one376 straight5676 forward6440 : whither the spirit7307 was to go3212 8800 , they went3212 8799 ; and they turned5437 8735 not when they went3212 8800 .
			13	As for the likeness1823 of the living creatures2416 , their appearance4758 was like burning1197 8802 coals1513 of fire784 , and like the appearance4758 of lamps3940 : it went up and down1980 8693 among the living creatures2416 ; and the fire784 was bright5051 , and out of the fire784 went forth3318 8802 lightning1300 .
			14	And the living creatures2416 ran7519 8800 and returned7725 8800 as the appearance4758 of a flash of lightning965 .
			15	Now as I beheld7200 8799 the living creatures2416 , behold one259 wheel212 upon the earth776 by681 the living creatures2416 , with his four702 faces6440 .
			16	The appearance4758 of the wheels212 and their work4639 was like unto the colour5869 of a beryl8658 : and they four702 had one259 likeness1823 : and their appearance4758 and their work4639 was as it were a wheel212 in the middle8432 of a wheel212 .
			17	When they went3212 8800 , they went3212 8799 upon their four702 sides7253 : and they turned5437 8735 not when they went3212 8800 .
			18	As for their rings1354 , they were so high1363 that they were dreadful3374 ; and their rings1354 were full4392 of eyes5869 round about5439 them four702 . [and their rings: or, and their strakes]
			19	And when the living creatures2416 went3212 8800 , the wheels212 went3212 8799 by them681 : and when the living creatures2416 were lifted up5375 8736 from the earth776 , the wheels212 were lifted up5375 8735 .
			20	Whithersoever the spirit7307 was to go3212 8800 , they went3212 8799 , thither was their spirit7307 to go3212 8800 ; and the wheels212 were lifted up5375 8735 over against5980 them: for the spirit7307 of the living creature2416 was in the wheels212 . [of...: or, of life]
			21	When those went3212 8800 , these went3212 8799 ; and when those stood5975 8800 , these stood5975 8799 ; and when those were lifted up5375 8736 from the earth776 , the wheels212 were lifted up5375 8735 over against5980 them: for the spirit7307 of the living creature2416 was in the wheels212 . [of...: or, of life]
			22	And the likeness1823 of the firmament7549 upon the heads7218 of the living creature2416 was as the colour5869 of the terrible3372 8737 crystal7140 , stretched forth5186 8803 over their heads7218 above4605 .
			23	And under the firmament7549 were their wings3671 straight3477 , the one802 toward the other269 : every one376 had two8147 , which covered3680 8764 on this side2007 , and every one376 had two8147 , which covered3680 8764 on that side2007 , their bodies1472 .
			24	And when they went3212 8800 , I heard8085 8799 the noise6963 of their wings3671 , like the noise6963 of great7227 waters4325 , as the voice6963 of the Almighty7706 , the voice6963 of speech1999 , as the noise6963 of an host4264 : when they stood5975 8800 , they let down7503 8762 their wings3671 .
			25	And there was a voice6963 from the firmament7549 that was over their heads7218 , when they stood5975 8800 , and had let down7503 8762 their wings3671 .
			26	And above4605 the firmament7549 that was over their heads7218 was the likeness1823 of a throne3678 , as the appearance4758 of a sapphire5601 stone68 : and upon the likeness1823 of the throne3678 was the likeness1823 as the appearance4758 of a man120 above4605 upon it.
			27	And I saw7200 8799 as the colour5869 of amber2830 , as the appearance4758 of fire784 round about5439 within1004 it, from the appearance4758 of his loins4975 even upward4605 , and from the appearance4758 of his loins4975 even downward4295 , I saw7200 8804 as it were the appearance4758 of fire784 , and it had brightness5051 round about5439 .
			28	As the appearance4758 of the bow7198 that is in the cloud6051 in the day3117 of rain1653 , so was the appearance4758 of the brightness5051 round about5439 . This was the appearance4758 of the likeness1823 of the glory3519 of the LORD3068 . And when I saw7200 8799 it , I fell5307 8799 upon my face6440 , and I heard8085 8799 a voice6963 of one that spake1696 8764 .
