Opening Verses

1 And it cometh to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month , in the fifth of the month, and I am in the midst of the Removed by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.

2 In the fifth of the month--it is the fifth year of the removal of the king Jehoiachin--

3 hath the word of Jehovah certainly been unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of Jehovah.

4 And I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, out of the midst of the fire.

5 And out of its midst is a likeness of four living creatures, and this is their appearance; a likeness of man is to them,

6 and four faces are to each, and four wings are to each of them,

7 and their feet are straight feet, and the sole of their feet is as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass;

8 and hands of man under their wings--on their four sides, and their faces and their wings-- are to them four;

9 joining one unto another are their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go.

10 As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right are to them four, and the face of an ox on the left are to them four, and the face of an eagle are to them four.
