1 Now in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

2 In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,

3 Yahweh’s word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and Yahweh’s hand was there on him.

4 I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire.

5 Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.

6 Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

7 Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.

8 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this:

9 Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each one went straight forward.
