  • Ezek 1:4-9 : 4 And I looked{H7200}{(H8799)}, and, behold, a whirlwind{H7307}{H5591} came{H935}{(H8802)} out of the north{H6828}, a great{H1419} cloud{H6051}, and a fire{H784} infolding{H3947}{(H8693)} itself, and a brightness{H5051} was about{H5439} it, and out of the midst{H8432} thereof as the colour{H5869} of amber{H2830}, out of the midst{H8432} of the fire{H784}. 5 Also out of the midst{H8432} thereof came the likeness{H1823} of four{H702} living creatures{H2416}. And this was their appearance{H4758}; they{H2007} had the likeness{H1823} of a man{H120}. 6 And every one{H259} had four{H702} faces{H6440}, and every one{H259} had four{H702} wings{H3671}. 7 And their feet{H7272} were straight{H3477} feet{H7272}; and the sole{H3709} of their feet{H7272} was like the sole{H3709} of a calf's{H5695} foot{H7272}: and they sparkled{H5340}{(H8802)} like the colour{H5869} of burnished{H7044} brass{H5178}. 8 And they had the hands{H3027} of a man{H120} under their wings{H3671} on their four{H702} sides{H7253}; and they four{H702} had their faces{H6440} and their wings{H3671}. 9 Their wings{H3671} were joined{H2266}{(H8802)} one{H802} to another{H269}; they turned{H5437}{(H8735)} not when they went{H3212}{(H8800)}; they went{H3212}{(H8799)} every one{H376} straight{H5676} forward{H6440}. 10 As for the likeness{H1823} of their faces{H6440}, they four{H702} had the face{H6440} of a man{H120}, and the face{H6440} of a lion{H738}, on the right side{H3225}: and they four{H702} had the face{H6440} of an ox{H7794} on the left side{H8040}; they four{H702} also had the face{H6440} of an eagle{H5404}. 11 Thus were their faces{H6440}: and their wings{H3671} were stretched{H6504}{(H8803)} upward{H4605}; two{H8147} wings of every one{H376} were joined{H2266}{(H8802)} one{H376} to another{H376}, and two{H8147} covered{H3680}{(H8764)} their bodies{H1472}. 12 And they went{H3212}{(H8799)} every one{H376} straight{H5676} forward{H6440}: whither the spirit{H7307} was to go{H3212}{(H8800)}, they went{H3212}{(H8799)}; and they turned{H5437}{(H8735)} not when they went{H3212}{(H8800)}. 13 As for the likeness{H1823} of the living creatures{H2416}, their appearance{H4758} was like burning{H1197}{(H8802)} coals{H1513} of fire{H784}, and like the appearance{H4758} of lamps{H3940}: it went up and down{H1980}{(H8693)} among the living creatures{H2416}; and the fire{H784} was bright{H5051}, and out of the fire{H784} went forth{H3318}{(H8802)} lightning{H1300}. 14 And the living creatures{H2416} ran{H7519}{(H8800)} and returned{H7725}{(H8800)} as the appearance{H4758} of a flash of lightning{H965}. 15 Now as I beheld{H7200}{(H8799)} the living creatures{H2416}, behold one{H259} wheel{H212} upon the earth{H776} by{H681} the living creatures{H2416}, with his four{H702} faces{H6440}. 16 The appearance{H4758} of the wheels{H212} and their work{H4639} was like unto the colour{H5869} of a beryl{H8658}: and they four{H702} had one{H259} likeness{H1823}: and their appearance{H4758} and their work{H4639} was as it were a wheel{H212} in the middle{H8432} of a wheel{H212}. 17 When they went{H3212}{(H8800)}, they went{H3212}{(H8799)} upon their four{H702} sides{H7253}: and they turned{H5437}{(H8735)} not when they went{H3212}{(H8800)}. 18 As for their rings{H1354}, they were so high{H1363} that they were dreadful{H3374}; and their rings{H1354} were full{H4392} of eyes{H5869} round about{H5439} them four{H702}. 19 And when the living creatures{H2416} went{H3212}{(H8800)}, the wheels{H212} went{H3212}{(H8799)} by them{H681}: and when the living creatures{H2416} were lifted up{H5375}{(H8736)} from the earth{H776}, the wheels{H212} were lifted up{H5375}{(H8735)}. 20 Whithersoever the spirit{H7307} was to go{H3212}{(H8800)}, they went{H3212}{(H8799)}, thither was their spirit{H7307} to go{H3212}{(H8800)}; and the wheels{H212} were lifted up{H5375}{(H8735)} over against{H5980} them: for the spirit{H7307} of the living creature{H2416} was in the wheels{H212}. 21 When those went{H3212}{(H8800)}, these went{H3212}{(H8799)}; and when those stood{H5975}{(H8800)}, these stood{H5975}{(H8799)}; and when those were lifted up{H5375}{(H8736)} from the earth{H776}, the wheels{H212} were lifted up{H5375}{(H8735)} over against{H5980} them: for the spirit{H7307} of the living creature{H2416} was in the wheels{H212}. 22 And the likeness{H1823} of the firmament{H7549} upon the heads{H7218} of the living creature{H2416} was as the colour{H5869} of the terrible{H3372}{(H8737)} crystal{H7140}, stretched forth{H5186}{(H8803)} over their heads{H7218} above{H4605}. 23 And under the firmament{H7549} were their wings{H3671} straight{H3477}, the one{H802} toward the other{H269}: every one{H376} had two{H8147}, which covered{H3680}{(H8764)} on this side{H2007}, and every one{H376} had two{H8147}, which covered{H3680}{(H8764)} on that side{H2007}, their bodies{H1472}. 24 And when they went{H3212}{(H8800)}, I heard{H8085}{(H8799)} the noise{H6963} of their wings{H3671}, like the noise{H6963} of great{H7227} waters{H4325}, as the voice{H6963} of the Almighty{H7706}, the voice{H6963} of speech{H1999}, as the noise{H6963} of an host{H4264}: when they stood{H5975}{(H8800)}, they let down{H7503}{(H8762)} their wings{H3671}. 25 And there was a voice{H6963} from the firmament{H7549} that was over their heads{H7218}, when they stood{H5975}{(H8800)}, and had let down{H7503}{(H8762)} their wings{H3671}. 26 And above{H4605} the firmament{H7549} that was over their heads{H7218} was the likeness{H1823} of a throne{H3678}, as the appearance{H4758} of a sapphire{H5601} stone{H68}: and upon the likeness{H1823} of the throne{H3678} was the likeness{H1823} as the appearance{H4758} of a man{H120} above{H4605} upon it. 27 And I saw{H7200}{(H8799)} as the colour{H5869} of amber{H2830}, as the appearance{H4758} of fire{H784} round about{H5439} within{H1004} it, from the appearance{H4758} of his loins{H4975} even upward{H4605}, and from the appearance{H4758} of his loins{H4975} even downward{H4295}, I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} as it were the appearance{H4758} of fire{H784}, and it had brightness{H5051} round about{H5439}. 28 As the appearance{H4758} of the bow{H7198} that is in the cloud{H6051} in the day{H3117} of rain{H1653}, so was the appearance{H4758} of the brightness{H5051} round about{H5439}. This was the appearance{H4758} of the likeness{H1823} of the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068}. And when I saw{H7200}{(H8799)} it, I fell{H5307}{(H8799)} upon my face{H6440}, and I heard{H8085}{(H8799)} a voice{H6963} of one that spake{H1696}{(H8764)}.
  • Ezek 10:9-9 : 9 And when I looked{H7200}{(H8799)}, behold the four{H702} wheels{H212} by{H681} the cherubims{H3742}, one{H259} wheel{H212} by{H681} one{H259} cherub{H3742}, and another{H259} wheel{H212} by{H681} another{H259} cherub{H3742}: and the appearance{H4758} of the wheels{H212} was as the colour{H5869} of a beryl{H8658} stone{H68}. 10 And as for their appearances{H4758}, they four{H702} had one{H259} likeness{H1823}, as if a wheel{H212} had been in the midst{H8432} of a wheel{H212}. 11 When they went{H3212}{(H8800)}, they went{H3212}{(H8800)} upon their four{H702} sides{H7253}; they turned{H5437}{(H8735)} not as they went{H3212}{(H8800)}, but to the place{H4725} whither the head{H7218} looked{H6437}{(H8799)} they followed{H3212}{(H8799)}{H310} it; they turned{H5437}{(H8735)} not as they went{H3212}{(H8799)}. 12 And their whole body{H1320}, and their backs{H1354}, and their hands{H3027}, and their wings{H3671}, and the wheels{H212}, were full{H4392} of eyes{H5869} round about{H5439}, even the wheels{H212} that they four{H702} had. 13 As for the wheels{H212}, it was cried{H7121}{(H8795)} unto them in my hearing{H241}, O wheel{H1534}. 14 And every one{H259} had four{H702} faces{H6440}: the first{H259} face{H6440} was the face{H6440} of a cherub{H3742}, and the second{H8145} face{H6440} was the face{H6440} of a man{H120}, and the third{H7992} the face{H6440} of a lion{H738}, and the fourth{H7243} the face{H6440} of an eagle{H5404}. 15 And the cherubims{H3742} were lifted up{H7426}{(H8735)}. This is the living creature{H2416} that I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} by the river{H5104} of Chebar{H3529}. 16 And when the cherubims{H3742} went{H3212}{(H8800)}, the wheels{H212} went{H3212}{(H8799)} by them{H681}: and when the cherubims{H3742} lifted up{H5375}{(H8800)} their wings{H3671} to mount up{H7311}{(H8800)} from the earth{H776}, the same wheels{H212} also{H1992} turned{H5437}{(H8735)} not from beside{H681} them. 17 When they stood{H5975}{(H8800)}, these stood{H5975}{(H8799)}; and when they were lifted up{H7311}{(H8800)}, these lifted up{H7426}{(H8735)} themselves also: for the spirit{H7307} of the living creature{H2416} was in them. 18 Then the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068} departed{H3318}{(H8799)} from off the threshold{H4670} of the house{H1004}, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} over the cherubims{H3742}. 19 And the cherubims{H3742} lifted up{H5375}{(H8799)} their wings{H3671}, and mounted up{H7426}{(H8735)} from the earth{H776} in my sight{H5869}: when they went out{H3318}{(H8800)}, the wheels{H212} also were beside{H5980} them, and every one stood{H5975}{(H8799)} at the door{H6607} of the east{H6931} gate{H8179} of the LORD'S{H3068} house{H1004}; and the glory{H3519} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} was over them above{H4605}. 20 This is the living creature{H2416} that I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} under the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} by the river{H5104} of Chebar{H3529}; and I knew{H3045}{(H8799)} that they were the cherubims{H3742}. 21 Every one{H259} had four{H702} faces{H6440} apiece{H259}, and every one{H259} four{H702} wings{H3671}; and the likeness{H1823} of the hands{H3027} of a man{H120} was under their wings{H3671}. 22 And the likeness{H1823} of their faces{H6440} was the same{H1992} faces{H6440} which I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} by the river{H5104} of Chebar{H3529}, their appearances{H4758} and themselves: they went{H3212}{(H8799)} every one{H376} straight{H5676} forward{H6440}.
