The Vision of Four Figures 1 Now it came about in the thirtieth yea…
The Vision of Four Figures
1 Now it came about in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the 1river Chebar among the exiles, the 2heavens were opened and I saw [a]3visions of God.
2
(On the fifth of the month [b]in the 4fifth year of King Jehoiachin's exile,
3
the 5word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the 6land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there 7the hand of the LORD came upon him.)
4
As I looked, behold, a 8storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like 9glowing metal in the midst of the fire.
5
Within it there were figures resembling 10four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human 11form.
6
Each of them had 12four faces and 13four wings.
7
Their legs were straight and [c]their feet were like a calf's hoof *, and they gleamed like 14burnished bronze.
8
Under their wings on their 15four sides were human 16hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,
9
their wings touched one another; their faces did 17not turn when they moved, each 18went straight * * forward.
10
As for the 19form of their faces, each had the 20face of a man; [d]all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and [e]all four had the face of an eagle.
11
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above *; each had two touching another being, and 21two covering their bodies.
12
And 22each went straight * * forward; 23wherever * * the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went.
13
[f]In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of 24fire, [g]like torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was [h]flashing from the fire.
14
And the living beings 25ran to and fro like bolts of 26lightning.
15
Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one 27wheel on the earth beside the living beings, [i]for each of the four of them.
16
The 28appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like [j]sparkling 29beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if [k]one wheel were within another.
17
Whenever they [l]moved, they [m]moved in any of their four [n]directions without 30turning as they [o]moved.
18
As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were 31full of eyes round about.
19
32Whenever the living beings [p]moved, the wheels [q]moved with them. And whenever the living beings 33rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.
20
34Wherever * * the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction [r]. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living [s]beings was in the wheels.
21
35Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living [t]beings was in the wheels.
Vision of Divine Glory
22 Now 36over the heads of the living [u]beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of [v]crystal, spread out over * their heads.
23
Under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had 37two wings covering its body on the one side and on the other.
24
I also heard the sound of their wings like the 38sound of abundant waters as they went, like the 39voice of [w]the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the 40sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.
25
And there came a voice from above the 41expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.
26
Now 42above * the expanse that was over their heads there was something 43resembling a throne, like [x]44lapis * lazuli * in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high * up, was a figure with the appearance of a 45man.
27
Then I [y]noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something 46like [z]glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him.
28
As the appearance of the 47rainbow [aa]in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the 48glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I 49fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.
