3 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 there the hand of the Lord came upon him.
4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, and a great cloud, and a fire enfolding 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.
5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of man.
6 And each one had four faces, and four wings.
7 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 highly burnished brass.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and their faces and their wings on all four sides.
9 With their wings they joined one to another; they did not return when they went; they went each one straight in the direction they were facing.
