the wheels also went together
by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth,
the wheels also were lifted up with them.
1:20. Withersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the
wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of
life was in the wheels.
1:21. When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and
when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up
together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
1:22. And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the
firmament, the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched
out over their heads above.
1:23. And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward
the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was
covered in like manner.
1:24. And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many
waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it
was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when
they stood, their wings were let down.
1:25. For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over
their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.
1:26. And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the
likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon
the likeness of the throne, was the likeness of the appearance of a man
above upon it.
1:27. And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of
fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his
loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round
about.
1:28. As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy
day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.
Ezechiel Chapter 2
The prophet receives his commission.
2:1. This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord, and I
saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke,
and he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to
thee.
2:2. And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he
set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,
2:3. And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a
rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers,
have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.
2:4. And they to whom I send thee
