Ezekiel 1 (NET) New English Translation

1 In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles at the Kebar River, the heavens opened and I saw a divine vision.
2 (On the fifth day of the month� it was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's exile�
3 the word of the LORD came to the priest Ezekiel the son of Buzi, at the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. The hand of the LORD came on him there).
4 As I watched, I noticed a windstorm coming from the north� an enormous cloud, with lightning flashing, such that bright light rimmed it and came from it like glowing amber from the middle of a fire.
5 In the fire were what looked like four living beings. In their appearance they had human form,
6 but each had four faces and four wings.
7 Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like calves' feet. They gleamed like polished bronze.
8 They had human hands under their wings on their four sides. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,
9 their wings touched each other; they did not turn as they moved, but went straight ahead.
10 Their faces had this appearance: Each of the four had the face of a man, with the face of a lion on the right, the face of an ox on the left and also the face of an eagle.
11 Their wings were spread out above them; each had two wings touching the wings of one of the other beings on either side and two wings covering their bodies.
12 Each moved straight ahead� wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.
13 In the middle of the living beings was something like burning coals of fire or like torches. It moved back and forth among the living beings. It was bright, and lightning was flashing out of the fire.
14 The living beings moved backward and forward as quickly as flashes of lightning.
15 Then I looked, and I saw one wheel on the ground beside each of the four beings.
16 The appearance of the wheels and their construction was like gleaming jasper, and all four wheels looked alike. Their structure was like a wheel within a wheel.
17 When they moved they would go in any of the four directions they faced without turning as they moved.
18 Their rims were high and awesome, and the rims of all four wheels were full of eyes all around.
19 When the living beings moved, the wheels beside them moved; when the living beings rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up too.
20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise up beside them because the spirit of the living being was in the wheel.
21 When the living beings moved, the wheels moved, and when they stopped moving, the wheels stopped. When they rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up from the ground; the wheels rose up beside them because the spirit of the living being was in the wheel.
22 Over the heads of the living beings was something like a platform, glittering awesomely like ice, stretched out over their heads.
23 Under the platform their wings were stretched out, each toward the other. Each of the beings also had two wings covering its body.
24 When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings� it was like the sound of rushing waters, or the voice of the Almighty, or the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 Then there was a voice from above the platform over their heads when they stood still.
26 Above the platform over their heads was something like a sapphire shaped like a throne. High above on the throne was a form that appeared to be a man.
27 I saw an amber glow like a fire enclosed all around from his waist up. From his waist down I saw something that looked like fire. There was a brilliant light around it,
28 like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds after the rain. This was the appearance of the surrounding brilliant light; it looked like the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I threw myself face down, and I heard a voice speaking.
1 Now it came to pass H1961 in the thirtieth H7970 year, H8141 in the fourth H7243 month , in the fifth H2568 day of the month, H2320 as I H589 was among H8432 the captives H1473 by H5921 the river H5104 of Chebar, H3529 that the heavens H8064 were opened, H6605 and I saw H7200 visions H4759 of God. H430
2 In the fifth H2568 day of the month, H2320 which H1931 was the fifth H2549 year H8141 of king H4428 Jehoiachin's H3112 captivity, H1546
3 The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came expressly H1961 H1961 unto H413 Ezekiel H3168 the priest, H3548 the son H1121 of Buzi, H941 in the land H776 of the Chaldeans H3778 by H5921 the river H5104 Chebar; H3529 and the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 was H1961 there H8033 upon H5921 him.
4 And I looked, H7200 and, behold, H2009 a whirlwind H7307 H5591 came H935 out of H4480 the north, H6828 a great H1419 cloud, H6051 and a fire H784 enfolding itself, H3947 and a brightness H5051 was about H5439 it , and out of the midst H4480 H8432 thereof as the color H5869 of amber, H2830 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of the fire. H784
5 Also out of the midst H4480 H8432 thereof came the likeness H1823 of four H702 living creatures. H2416 And this H2088 was their appearance; H4758 they H2007 had the likeness H1823 of a man. H120
6 And every one H259 had four H702 faces, H6440 and every one H259 had four H702 wings. H3671
7 And their feet H7272 were straight H3477 feet; H7272 and the sole H3709 of their feet H7272 was like the sole H3709 of a calf's H5695 foot: H7272 and they sparkled H5340 like the color H5869 of burnished H7044 brass. H5178
8 And they had the hands H3027 of a man H120 under H4480 H8478 their wings H3671 on H5921 their four H702 sides; H7253 and they four H702 had their faces H6440 and their wings. H3671
9 Their wings H3671 were joined H2266 one H802 to H413 another; H269 they turned H5437 not H3808 when they went; H1980 they went H1980 every one H376 straight H5676 forward. H6440
10 As for the likeness H1823 of their faces, H6440 they four H702 had the face H6440 of a man, H120 and the face H6440 of a lion, H738 on H413 the right side: H3225 and they four H702 had the face H6440 of an ox H7794 on the left side H4480 H8040 ; they four H702 also had the face H6440 of an eagle. H5404
11 Thus were their faces: H6440 and their wings H3671 were stretched H6504 upward H4480 H4605 ; two H8147 wings of every one H376 were joined H2266 one to another, H376 and two H8147 covered H3680 H853 their bodies. H1472
12 And they went H1980 every one H376 straight H5676 forward: H6440 whither H834 H8033 the spirit H7307 was H1961 to go, H1980 they went; H1980 and they turned H5437 not H3808 when they went. H1980
13 As for the likeness H1823 of the living creatures, H2416 their appearance H4758 was like burning H1197 coals H1513 of fire, H784 and like the appearance H4758 of lamps: H3940 it H1931 went up and down H1980 among H996 the living creatures; H2416 and the fire H784 was bright, H5051 and out of H4480 the fire H784 went forth H3318 lightning. H1300
14 And the living creatures H2416 ran H7519 and returned H7725 as the appearance H4758 of a flash of lightning. H965
15 Now as I beheld H7200 the living creatures, H2416 behold H2009 one H259 wheel H212 upon the earth H776 by H681 the living creatures, H2416 with his four H702 faces. H6440
16 The appearance H4758 of the wheels H212 and their work H4639 was like unto the color H5869 of a beryl: H8658 and they four H702 had one H259 likeness: H1823 and their appearance H4758 and their work H4639 was as H834 it were H1961 a wheel H212 in the middle H8432 of a wheel. H212
17 When they went, H1980 they went H1980 upon H5921 their four H702 sides: H7253 and they turned H5437 not H3808 when they went. H1980
18 As for their rings, H1354 they were so high H1363 that they were dreadful; H3374 and their rings H1354 were full H4392 of eyes H5869 round about H5439 them four. H702
19 And when the living creatures H2416 went, H1980 the wheels H212 went H1980 by H681 them : and when the living creatures H2416 were lifted up H5375 from H4480 H5921 the earth, H776 the wheels H212 were lifted up. H5375
20 Whithersoever H5921 H834 H8033 the spirit H7307 was H1961 to go, H1980 they went, H1980 thither H8033 was their spirit H7307 to go; H1980 and the wheels H212 were lifted up H5375 over against H5980 them: for H3588 the spirit H7307 of the living creature H2416 was in the wheels. H212
21 When those went, H1980 these went; H1980 and when those stood, H5975 these stood; H5975 and when those were lifted up H5375 from H4480 H5921 the earth, H776 the wheels H212 were lifted up H5375 over against H5980 them: for H3588 the spirit H7307 of the living creature H2416 was in the wheels. H212
22 And the likeness H1823 of the firmament H7549 upon H5921 the heads H7218 of the living creature H2416 was as the color H5869 of the terrible H3372 crystal, H7140 stretched forth H5186 over H5921 their heads H7218 above H4480 H4605 .
23 And under H8478 the firmament H7549 were their wings H3671 straight, H3477 the one H802 toward H413 the other: H269 every one H376 had two, H8147 which covered H3680 on this side, H2007 and every one H376 had two, H8147 which covered H3680 on that side, H2007 H853 their bodies. H1472
24 And when they went, H1980 I heard H8085 H853 the noise H6963 of their wings, H3671 like the noise H6963 of great H7227 waters, H4325 as the voice H6963 of the Almighty, H7706 the voice H6963 of speech, H1999 as the noise H6963 of a host: H4264 when they stood, H5975 they let down H7503 their wings. H3671
25 And there was H1961 a voice H6963 from H4480 H5921 the firmament H7549 that H834 was over H5921 their heads, H7218 when they stood, H5975 and had let down H7503 their wings. H3671
26 And above H4480 H4605 the firmament H7549 that H834 was over H5921 their heads H7218 was the likeness H1823 of a throne, H3678 as the appearance H4758 of a sapphire H5601 stone: H68 and upon H5921 the likeness H1823 of the throne H3678 was the likeness H1823 as the appearance H4758 of a man H120 above H4480 H4605 upon H5921 it.
27 And I saw H7200 as the color H5869 of amber, H2830 as the appearance H4758 of fire H784 round about H5439 within H1004 it , from the appearance H4480 H4758 of his loins H4975 even upward, H4605 and from the appearance H4480 H4758 of his loins H4975 even downward, H4295 I saw H7200 as it were the appearance H4758 of fire, H784 and it had brightness H5051 round about. H5439
28 As the appearance H4758 of the bow H7198 that H834 is H1961 in the cloud H6051 in the day H3117 of rain, H1653 so H3651 was the appearance H4758 of the brightness H5051 round about. H5439 This H1931 was the appearance H4758 of the likeness H1823 of the glory H3519 of the LORD. H3068 And when I saw H7200 it , I fell H5307 upon H5921 my face, H6440 and I heard H8085 a voice H6963 of one that spoke. H1696
