Ezekiel 3:12-13
New English Translation
Ezekiel Before the Exiles
12 Then a wind lifted me up[a] and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me as the glory of the Lord rose from its place,[b] 13 and the sound of the living beings’ wings brushing against each other, and the sound of the wheels alongside them, a great rumbling sound.

- Ezekiel 3:12 sn See note on “wind” in 2:2.
- Ezekiel 3:12 tc This translation accepts the emendation suggested in BHS of בְּרוּם (berum, “in the lifting”) for בָּרוּךְ (barukh). The letters mem (מ) and kaf (כ) were easily confused in the old script, while בָּרוּךְ (“blessed be”) implies a quotation, which is out of place here. The word also does not fit the later phrase “from its place,” which requires a verb of motion.
