Ezekiel 1:1
New International Version
Ezekiel’s Inaugural Vision
1 In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles(A) by the Kebar River,(B) the heavens were opened(C) and I saw visions(D) of God.
Ezekiel 1:24-28
New International Version
24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing(A) waters, like the voice(B) of the Almighty,[a] like the tumult of an army.(C) When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne(D) of lapis lazuli,(E) and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.(F) 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.(G) 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow(H) in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.(I)
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory(J) of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown,(K) and I heard the voice of one speaking.
