Ezekiel 1:22

Verse 22 of 28. The 1st of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

18As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

19When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20Wherever the spirit was to go, they went. The spirit was to go there. The wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

21When those went, these went. When those stood, these stood. When those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

22Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like an awesome crystal to look at, stretched out over their heads above.

23Under the expanse, their wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies on that side.

24When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army. When they stood, they let down their wings.

25There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings.

26Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. On the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
