1:1 Now it came 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 8738, and I saw 7200 8799 visions 4759 of God 430.(captives: Heb. captivity)

1:2 In the fifth 2568 [day] of the month 2320, which [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 unto Ezekiel 3168 the priest 3548, the son 1121 of Buzi 941, in the land 776 of the Chaldeans 3778 by the river 5104 Chebar 3529; and the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was there upon him.(Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel)

1:4 And I looked 7200 8799, and, behold, a whirlwind 7307 5591 came 935 8802 out of the north 6828, a great 1419 cloud 6051, and a fire 784 infolding 3947 8693 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 784.(infolding…: Heb. catching itself)

1:5 Also out of the midst 8432 thereof [came] the likeness 1823 of four 702 living creatures 2416. And this [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.(straight…: Heb. a straight foot)

1:8 And [they had] the hands 3027 of a man 120 under their wings 3671 on 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 another 269; they turned 5437 8735 not when they went 3212 8800; they went 3212 8799 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 the right side 3225: and they four 702 had the face 6440 of an ox 7794 on the left side 8040; 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; two 8147 [wings] of every one 376 [were] joined 2266 8802 one 376 to another 376, and two 8147 covered 3680 8764 their bodies 1472.(stretched…: or, divided above)

1:12 And they went 3212 8799 every one 376 straight 5676 forward 6440: whither the spirit 7307 was to go 3212 8800, they went 3212 8799; [and] they turned 5437 8735 not when they went 3212 8800.

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 went up and down 1980 8693 among the living creatures 2416; and the fire 784 was bright 5051, and out of 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 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 it were a wheel 212 in the middle 8432 of a wheel 212.

1:17 When they went 3212 8800, they went 3212 8799 upon their four 702 sides 7253: [and] they turned 5437 8735 not when they went 3212 8800.

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.(and their rings: or, and their strakes)

1:19 And when the living creatures 2416 went 3212 8800, the wheels 212 went 3212 8799 by them 681: and when the living creatures 2416 were lifted up 5375 8736 from the earth 776, the wheels 212 were lifted up 5375 8735.

1:20 Whithersoever the spirit 7307 was to go 3212 8800, they went 3212 8799, thither [was their] spirit 7307 to go 3212 8800; and the wheels 212 were lifted up 5375 8735 over against 5980 them: for the spirit 7307 of the living creature 2416 [was] in the wheels 212.(of…: or, of life)

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

1:22 And the likeness 1823 of the firmament 7549 upon 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 their heads 7218 above 4605.

1:23 And under the firmament 7549 [were] their wings 3671 straight 3477, the one 802 toward 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, their bodies 1472.

1:24 And when they went 3212 8800, I heard 8085 8799 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 a voice 6963 from the firmament 7549 that [was] over their heads 7218, when they stood 5975 8800, [and] had let down 7503 8762 their wings 3671.

1:26 And above 4605 the firmament 7549 that [was] over 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 120 above 4605 upon 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 of his loins 4975 even upward 4605, and from the appearance 4758 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 is in the cloud 6051 in the day 3117 of rain 1653, so [was] the appearance 4758 of the brightness 5051 round about 5439. This [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 my face 6440, and I heard 8085 8799 a voice 6963 of one that spake 1696 8764.
