Ezekiel 1:12-28

12And they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440: wherever the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212; and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212. 13As for the likenessH1823 of the living beingsH2416, their appearanceH4758 was like burningH1197 coalsH1513 of fireH784, and like the appearanceH4758 of lampsH3940: it went up and downH1980 among the living beingsH2416; and the fireH784 was brightH5051, and out of the fireH784 went forthH3318 lightningH1300. 14And the living beingsH2416 ranH7519 and returnedH7725 as the appearanceH4758 of a flash of lightningH965.

15Now as I beheldH7200 the living beingsH2416, behold oneH259 wheelH212 upon the earthH776 byH681 the living beingsH2416, with his fourH702 facesH6440. 16The appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 and their workH4639 was like the colourH5869 of a berylH8658: and they fourH702 had oneH259 likenessH1823: and their appearanceH4758 and their workH4639 was as it were a wheelH212 in the middleH8432 of a wheelH212. 17When they wentH3212, they wentH3212 upon their fourH702 sidesH7253: and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212. 18As for their rimsH1354, they were so highH1363 that they were dreadfulH3374; and their rimsH1354 were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 all aroundH5439 them fourH702.1 19And when the living beingsH2416 wentH3212, the wheelsH212 wentH3212 by themH681: and when the living beingsH2416 were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375. 20Wherever the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212, there was their spiritH7307 to goH3212; and the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 together withH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living beingH2416 was in the wheelsH212.2 21When those wentH3212, these wentH3212; and when those stoodH5975, these stoodH5975; and when those were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 together withH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living beingH2416 was in the wheelsH212.3 22And the likenessH1823 of the firmamentH7549 upon the headsH7218 of the living beingH2416 was as the colourH5869 of the terribleH3372 crystalH7140, stretched forthH5186 over their headsH7218 aboveH4605. 23And under the firmamentH7549 were their wingsH3671 straightH3477, the oneH802 toward the otherH269: every oneH376 had twoH8147, which coveredH3680 on this sideH2007, and every oneH376 had twoH8147, which coveredH3680 on that sideH2007, their bodiesH1472. 24And when they wentH3212, I heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of their wingsH3671, like the noiseH6963 of greatH7227 watersH4325, as the voiceH6963 of the AlmightyH7706, the voiceH6963 of speechH1999, as the noiseH6963 of an hostH4264: when they stoodH5975, they let downH7503 their wingsH3671. 25And there was a voiceH6963 from the firmamentH7549 that was over their headsH7218, when they stoodH5975, and had let downH7503 their wingsH3671.

26And aboveH4605 the firmamentH7549 that was over their headsH7218 was the likenessH1823 of a throneH3678, as the appearanceH4758 of a sapphireH5601 stoneH68: and upon the likenessH1823 of the throneH3678 was the likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of a manH120 aboveH4605 upon it. 27And I sawH7200 as the colourH5869 of amberH2830, as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784 aroundH5439 withinH1004 it, from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even upwardH4605, and from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downwardH4295, I sawH7200 as it were the appearanceH4758 of fireH784, and it had brightnessH5051 on all sidesH5439. 28As the appearanceH4758 of the bowH7198 that is in the cloudH6051 in the dayH3117 of rainH1653, so was the appearanceH4758 of the brightnessH5051 all aroundH5439. This was the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068. And when I sawH7200 it, I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of one speakingH1696.
