Ezekiel 1:25-28
Legacy Standard Bible
25 And there came a sound from above the (A)expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.
26 Now (B)above the expanse that was over their heads there was something in the (C)likeness of a throne, like (D)sapphire stone in appearance; and upon the likeness of the throne, high up, was the likeness of one with the appearance of a (E)man. 27 Then I saw from the appearance of His loins and upward something (F)like the gleam of [a]glowing metal with the appearance of fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something with the appearance of fire; and there was a radiance all around Him. 28 As the appearance of the (G)rainbow [b]in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the radiance all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the (H)glory of Yahweh. And I saw this, and I (I)fell on my face and heard a sound of a voice speaking.

25 And there came a voice from above the dome over their heads; when they stopped, they let down their wings.
26 And above the dome over their heads there was something like a throne, in appearance like sapphire,[a] and seated above the likeness of the throne was something that seemed like a human form.(A) 27 Upward from what appeared like the loins I saw something like gleaming amber, something that looked like fire enclosed all around, and downward from what looked like the loins I saw something that looked like fire, and there was a splendor all around.(B) 28 Like the bow in a cloud on a rainy day, such was the appearance of the splendor all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking.(C)
