Ezekiel 1:3-15 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

3. hath the word of Jehovah certainly been unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of Jehovah.

4. And I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, out of the midst of the fire.

5. And out of its midst [is] a likeness of four living creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man [is] to them,

6. and four faces [are] to each, and four wings [are] to each of them,

7. and their feet [are] straight feet, and the sole of their feet [is] as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass;

8. and hands of man under their wings--on their four sides, and their faces and their wings--[are] to them four;

9. joining one unto another [are] their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go.

10. As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right [are] to them four, and the face of an ox on the left [are] to them four, and the face of an eagle [are] to them four.

11. And their faces and their wings are separate from above, to each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.

12. And each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round in their going.

13. As to the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances [are] as coals of fire-- burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness [is] to the fire, and out of the fire is going forth lightning.

14. And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.

15. And I see the living creatures, and lo, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
