Ezekiel

Chapter 1

1  The time of Ezekiel's prophecy at Chebar.  4  His vision of the four cherubims,  15  of the four wheels,  26  and of the glory of the LORD.

1:1 ¶ Now it came to pass (1961) in the thirtieth {7970} year, {8141} in the fourth {7243} [month], in the fifth {2568} [day] of the month, {2320} as I (589) [was] among {8432} the captives {1473} by (5921) the river {5104} of Chebar, {3529} [that] the heavens {8064} were opened, {6605} <8738> and I saw {7200} <8799> visions {4759} of God. {430}

1:2 In the fifth {2568} [day] of the month, {2320} which (1931) [was] the fifth {2549} year {8141} of king {4428} Jehoiachin's {3112} captivity, {1546}

1:3 The word {1697} of the LORD {3068} came expressly {1961} unto (413) Ezekiel {3168} the priest, {3548} the son {1121} of Buzi, {941} in the land {776} of the Chaldeans {3778} by (5921) the river {5104} Chebar; {3529} and the hand {3027} of the LORD {3068} was (1961) there (8033) upon (5921) him.

1:4 ¶ And I looked, {7200} <8799> and, behold, (2009) a whirlwind {7307} {5591} came {935} <8802> out of (4480) the north, {6828} a great {1419} cloud, {6051} and a fire {784} infolding [3947] <8693> itself, (3947) and a brightness {5051} [was] about {5439} it, and out of the midst {8432} (4480) thereof as the colour {5869} of amber, {2830} out of the midst {8432} (4480) of the fire. {784}

1:5 Also out of the midst {8432} (4480) thereof [came] the likeness {1823} of four {702} living creatures. {2416} And this (2088) [was] their appearance; {4758} they {2007} had the likeness {1823} of a man. {120}

1:6 And every one {259} had four {702} faces, {6440} and every one {259} had four {702} wings. {3671}

1:7 And their feet {7272} [were] straight {3477} 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} <8802> like the colour {5869} of burnished {7044} brass. {5178}

1:8 And [they had] the hands {3027} of a man {120} under (4480) (8478) their wings {3671} on (5921) their four {702} sides; {7253} and they four {702} had their faces {6440} and their wings. {3671}

1:9 Their wings {3671} [were] joined {2266} <8802> one {802} to (413) another; {269} they turned {5437} <8735> not (3808) when they went; [3212] <8800> (1980) they went [3212] <8799> (1980) every one {376} straight {5676} forward. {6440}

1:10 As for the likeness {1823} of their faces, {6440} they four {702} had the face {6440} of a man, {120} and the face {6440} of a lion, {738} on (413) the right side: {3225} and they four {702} had the face {6440} of an ox {7794} on the left side; {8040} (4480) they four {702} also had the face {6440} of an eagle. {5404}

1:11 Thus [were] their faces: {6440} and their wings {3671} [were] stretched {6504} <8803> upward; {4605} (4480) two {8147} [wings] of every one {376} [were] joined {2266} <8802> one [376] to another, {376} and two {8147} covered {3680} <8764> (853) their bodies. {1472}

1:12 And they went [3212] <8799> (1980) every one {376} straight {5676} forward: {6440} whither (834) (8033) the spirit {7307} was (1961) to go, [3212] <8800> (1980) they went; [3212] <8799> (1980) [and] they turned {5437} <8735> not (3808) when they went. [3212] <8800> (1980)

1:13 As for the likeness {1823} of the living creatures, {2416} their appearance {4758} [was] like burning {1197} <8802> coals {1513} of fire, {784} [and] like the appearance {4758} of lamps: {3940} it (1931) went up and down {1980} <8693> among (996) the living creatures; {2416} and the fire {784} was bright, {5051} and out of (4480) the fire {784} went forth {3318} <8802> lightning. {1300}

1:14 And the living creatures {2416} ran {7519} <8800> and returned {7725} <8800> as the appearance {4758} of a flash of lightning. {965}

1:15 ¶ Now as I beheld {7200} <8799> the living creatures, {2416} behold (2009) one {259} wheel {212} upon the earth {776} by {681} the living creatures, {2416} with his four {702} faces. {6440}

1:16 The appearance {4758} of the wheels {212} and their work {4639} [was] like unto the colour {5869} of a beryl: {8658} and they four {702} had one {259} likeness: {1823} and their appearance {4758} and their work {4639} [was] as (834) it were (1961) a wheel {212} in the middle {8432} of a wheel. {212}

1:17 When they went, [3212] <8800> (1980) they went [3212] <8799> (1980) upon (5921) their four {702} sides: {7253} [and] they turned {5437} <8735> not (3808) when they went. [3212] <8800> (1980)

1:18 As for their rings, {1354} they were so high {1363} that they were dreadful; {3374} and their rings {1354} [were] full {4392} of eyes {5869} round about {5439} them four. {702}

1:19 And when the living creatures {2416} went, [3212] <8800> (1980) the wheels {212} went [3212] <8799> (1980) by (681) them: [681] and when the living creatures {2416} were lifted up {5375} <8736> from (4480) (5921) the earth, {776} the wheels {212} were lifted up. {5375} <8735>

1:20 Whithersoever (5921) (834) (8033) the spirit {7307} was (1961) to go, [3212] <8800> (1980) they went, [3212] <8799> (1980) thither (8033) [was their] spirit {7307} to go; [3212] <8800> (1980) and the wheels {212} were lifted up {5375} <8735> over against {5980} them: for (3588) the spirit {7307} of the living creature {2416} [was] in the wheels. {212}

1:21 When those went, [3212] <8800> (1980) [these] went; [3212] <8799> (1980) and when those stood, {5975} <8800> [these] stood; {5975} <8799> and when those were lifted up {5375} <8736> from (4480) (5921) the earth, {776} the wheels {212} were lifted up {5375} <8735> over against {5980} them: for (3588) the spirit {7307} of the living creature {2416} [was] in the wheels. {212}

1:22 And the likeness {1823} of the firmament {7549} upon (5921) the heads {7218} of the living creature {2416} [was] as the colour {5869} of the terrible {3372} <8737> crystal, {7140} stretched forth {5186} <8803> over (5921) their heads {7218} above. {4605} (4480)

1:23 And under (8478) the firmament {7549} [were] their wings {3671} straight, {3477} the one {802} toward (413) the other: {269} every one {376} had two, {8147} which covered {3680} <8764> on this side, {2007} and every one {376} had two, {8147} which covered {3680} <8764> on that side, {2007} (853) their bodies. {1472}

1:24 And when they went, [3212] <8800> (1980) I heard {8085} <8799> (853) 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} <8800> they let down {7503} <8762> their wings. {3671}

1:25 And there was (1961) a voice {6963} from (4480) (5921) the firmament {7549} that (834) [was] over (5921) their heads, {7218} when they stood, {5975} <8800> [and] had let down {7503} <8762> their wings. {3671}

1:26 ¶ And above {4605} (4480) the firmament {7549} that (834) [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 (5921) the likeness {1823} of the throne {3678} [was] the likeness {1823} as the appearance {4758} of a man {120} above {4605} (4480) upon (5921) it.

1:27 And I saw {7200} <8799> as the colour {5869} of amber, {2830} as the appearance {4758} of fire {784} round about {5439} within {1004} it, from the appearance {4758} (4480) of his loins {4975} even upward, {4605} and from the appearance {4758} (4480) of his loins {4975} even downward, {4295} I saw {7200} <8804> as it were the appearance {4758} of fire, {784} and it had brightness {5051} round about. {5439}

1:28 As the appearance {4758} of the bow {7198} that (834) is (1961) in the cloud {6051} in the day {3117} of rain, {1653} so (3651) [was] the appearance {4758} of the brightness {5051} round about. {5439} This (1931) [was] the appearance {4758} of the likeness {1823} of the glory {3519} of the LORD. {3068} And when I saw {7200} <8799> [it], I fell {5307} <8799> upon (5921) my face, {6440} and I heard {8085} <8799> a voice {6963} of one that spake. {1696} <8764>
