"And I looked,ª° and, behold,¹ a whirlwindªª cameª° out of¹ the north,ª a greatª cloud,ª and a fireª infolding²° itself,¹ and a brightnessª [was] aboutª it, and out of the midstª¹ thereof as the colourª of amber,ª out of the midstª¹ of the fire.ª" {Ezk 1:4} + "And aboveª¹ the firmamentª that¹ [was] over¹ their headsª [was] the likenessª of a throne,ª as the appearanceª of a sapphireª stone:ª and upon¹ the likenessª of the throneª [was] the likenessª as the appearanceª of a manª aboveª¹ upon¹ it. ... And I sawª° as the colourª of amber,ª as the appearanceª of fireª round aboutª withinª it, from the appearanceª¹ of his loinsª even upward,ª and from the appearanceª¹ of his loinsª even downward,ª I sawª° as it were the appearanceª of fire,ª and it had brightnessª round about.ª" {Ezk 1:26-27} + "I beheldªª°° tillª¹ the thronesª were cast down,ª° and the Ancientª of daysª did sit,ª° whose garmentª [was] whiteª as snow,ª and the hairª of his headª like the pureª wool:ª his throneª [was like] the fieryª¹ flame,ª [and] his wheelsª [as] burningª° fire.ª ... A fieryª¹ streamª issuedª° and came forthª° fromª beforeª him: thousandª thousandsª ministeredª° unto him, and ten thousand² times ten thousandª stoodª° beforeª him: the judgmentª was set,ª° and the booksª were opened.ª°" {Dan 7:9-10} + "ª His²¹ headª andª [his] hairsª [were] whiteª likeª wool,ª as whiteª asª snow;ª andª his²¹ eyesª [were] asª a flameª of fire;ª ...

amber:
Amber is a hard, inflammable, bituminous substance, of a beautiful yellow colour, very transparent, and susceptible of an exquisite polish. When rubbed it is highly endowed with electricity; a name which the moderns have formed from its Greek name ηλεκτρον. But, as amber becomes dim as soon as it feels the fire, and is speedily consumed, it is probable that the original chashmal which Bochart derives from the Chaldee nechash copper, and melala gold, was a mixed metal, similar to that which the Greeks called ηλεκτρον, electrum, as the LXX and Vulgate render, from its resemblance to amber in colour.
