¶ A Vision of God’s Glory In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles at the Kebar River, the heavens opened and I saw a divine vision.
(On the fifth day of the month– it was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile–
the LORD’s message came to the priest Ezekiel the son of Buzi, at the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. The hand of the LORD came on him there).
As I watched, I noticed a windstorm coming from the north– an enormous cloud, with lightning flashing, such that bright light rimmed it and came from it like glowing amber from the middle of a fire.
In the fire were what looked like four living beings. In their appearance they had human form,
but each had four faces and four wings.
Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like calves’ feet. They gleamed like polished bronze.
