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.

And {it was} according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, {even} according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions {were} like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. {when...: or, when I came to prophesy that the city should be destroyed}

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. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}

Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel {was} over them above.

Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, {that there shall} not {be} a man {left}: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? {even} the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, {and} thou shalt see greater abominations.

Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

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.

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. {captives: Heb. captivity}

Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

This {is} the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they {were} the cherubims.
