Revised Version 1895
Ezekiel 1:5-14
5And out of the midstH8432 thereof came the likenessH1823 of fourH702 livingH2416 creatures. And this was their appearanceH4758; they had the likenessH1823 of a manH120.
6And everyH259 one had fourH702 facesH6440, and everyH259 one of them had fourH702 wingsH3671.
7And their feetH7272 were straightH3477 feetH7272; and the soleH3709 of their feetH7272 was like the soleH3709 of a calf’sH5695 footH7272: and they sparkled like the colour of burnishedH7044 brassH5178.
8And they had the handsH3027 of a manH120 underH8478 their wingsH3671 on their fourH702 sidesH7253: and they fourH702 had their facesH6440 and their wingsH3671 thus;
9their wingsH3671 were joinedH2266 one to anotherH376; they turnedH5437 notH3808 when they wentH5437; they wentH5437 everyH376 one straightH5676 forwardH6440.
10As for the likenessH1823 of their facesH6440, they had the faceH6440 of a manH120; and they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of a lionH738 on the rightH3225 sideH3225; and they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of an oxH7794 on the leftH8040 sideH3225; they fourH702 had also the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.
11And their facesH6440 and their wingsH3671 were separateH6504 aboveH4605; twoH8147 wingsH3671 of everyH376 one were joinedH2266 one to anotherH376, and twoH8147 coveredH3680 their bodiesH1472.
12And they wentH5437 everyH376 one straightH5676 forwardH6440: whither the spiritH7307 was to goH5437, they wentH5437; they turnedH5437 notH3808 when they wentH5437.
13As for the likenessH1823 of the livingH2416 creaturesH996, their appearanceH4758 was like burningH784 coalsH1513 of fireH784, like the appearanceH4758 of torchesH3940; it wentH1980 upH4480 and downH1980 among the livingH2416 creaturesH996: and the fireH784 was brightH5051, and outH3318 of the fireH784 wentH1980 forthH3318 lightningH1300.
14And the livingH2416 creatures ranH7519 and returnedH7725 as the appearanceH4758 of a flash of lightningH965.
