Ezekiel 1:4-14
4As I lookedH7200, beholdH2009, a 1highH5591 windH7307 was comingH935 from the northH6828, a greatH1419 cloudH6051 with fireH784 flashingH3947 intermittentlyH3947 and a brightH5051 lightH5051 aroundH5439 it, and in its midstH8432 something like 2gleamingH5869 3metalH2830 in the midstH8432 of the fireH784. 5And withinH8432 it there were figuresH1823 resemblingH1823 4fourH702 livingH2421 beingsH2421. And thisH2088 was their appearanceH4758: they had humanH120 5formH1823. 6EachH259 of them had 6fourH702 facesH6440 and 7fourH702 wingsH3671. 7Their legsH7272 were straightH3477 and 8their feetH7272 were like a calf’sH5695 9hoofH3709H7272, and they sparkledH5340 like 10polishedH7044 bronzeH5178. 8UnderH8478 their wingsH3671 on their 11fourH702 sidesH7253 were humanH120 12handsH3027. As for the facesH6440 and wingsH3671 of the fourH702 of them, 9their wingsH3671 touchedH2266 oneH802 anotherH269; their faces did 13not turnH5437 when they movedH1980, eachH376 14wentH1980 straightH413H5676H6440 forwardH6440. 10As for the 15formH1823 of their facesH6440, each had a humanH120 16faceH6440; 17all fourH702 had the faceH6440 of a lionH743 on the rightH3225 and the faceH6440 of a bullH7794 on the leftH8040, and 18all fourH702 had the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404. 11Such were their facesH6440. Their wingsH3671 were spreadH6504 outH6504 aboveH4480H4605; eachH376 had twoH8147 touchingH2266 anotherH376 being, and 19twoH8147 coveringH3680 their bodiesH1472. 12And 20eachH376 wentH1980 straightH413H5676H6440 forwardH6440; 21whereverH413H834H8033 the spiritH7307 was about to goH1980, they would goH1980, withoutH3808 turningH5437 as they wentH1980. 1322In the midst of the livingH2421 beingsH2421 there was something that lookedH4758 like burningH1197 coalsH1513 of 23fireH784, 24likeH4758 torchesH3940 movingH1980 amongH996 the livingH2421 beingsH2421. The fireH784 was brightH5051, and lightningH1300 was 25flashingH3318 from the fireH784. 14And the livingH2421 beingsH2421 26ranH7519 backH7725 and forthH7725 likeH4758 boltsH965 ofH965 27lightningH965.
