Ezekiel in Babylon

1 ^(A)In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by ^(B)the Chebar canal, ^(C)the heavens were opened, and I saw ^(D)visions of God.^[a]

^15 (A)And I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were dwelling ^(B)by the Chebar canal, and I sat where they were dwelling.^[a] And ^(C)I sat there ^(D)overwhelmed among them ^(E)seven days.

²³ So I arose and went out into the valley, and behold, ^(A)the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory that I had seen ^(B)by the Chebar canal, ^(C)and I fell on my face.

^15 (A)And the cherubim mounted up. These were ^(B)the living creatures that I saw by ^(C)the Chebar canal.

^20 (A)These were the living creatures that I saw ^(B)underneath the God of Israel by ^(C)the Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim.

^22 (A)And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. ^(B)Each one of them went straight forward.

³ And ^(A)the vision I saw was just like the vision that I had seen ^(B)when he^[a] came to destroy the city, and just like ^(C)the vision that I had seen ^(D)by the Chebar canal. And ^(E)I fell on my face.
