²⁵ And there was^[a] a sound from above the expanse that was above their heads, and when they stood^[b] they lowered their wings. ²⁶ And from above the expanse that was above their heads there was the likeness of a throne, looking like a sapphire,^[c] and above the likeness of the throne was a likeness similar to^[d] the appearance of a human on it, but above it.^{[e] 27} And I saw something like the outward appearance of amber, something like the appearance of fire, with a covering around it, from the likeness of his loins and upward.^[f] And from the likeness of his loins and downward^[g] I saw something like the appearance of fire, and it was radiant all around.^{[h] 28} Like the appearance^[i] of a bow that is in the cloud on a rainy day,^[j] such was the radiance^[k] around it; thus was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
