Book 26 Ezekiel 26:001:001 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 26:001:002 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, 26:001:003 The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him. 26:001:004 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 26:001:005 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 26:001:006 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 26:001:007 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 26:001:008 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 26:001:009 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. 26:001:010 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. 26:001:011 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. 26:001:012 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. 26:001:013 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 26:001:014 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 26:001:015 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
