Chap. I.
By the riuer of Chobar nere Babylon, Ezechiel seeth in vision a tempestious
whirlewinde, note 5. and strange shapes, 10. of a man, a lion, an oxe, and
an eagle: 15. of foure wheeles, 22. and of a man sitting gloriously on
a throne in the firmament.
1 And note it came to passe in note the thirtith yeare, in
the fourth, in the fifth of the moneth, when I
was in the middes of the captiues beside the riuer
Chobar, the heauens were opened, and I saw the
visions of God.
2 In the fifth of the moneth, the
same is the fifth yeare of the transmigration of king Ioachin,
3 the word of our Lord was made to Ezechiel the sonne of
Buzi priest in the land of the Chaldees, by the riuer Chobar:
and there the hand of our Lord was made vpon him.
4 And
I saw, and behold a whirlewinde came from the North: and
a great clowde, & a fire inuoluing, and brightnes round about
it: & out of the middes therof as it were the forme of amber,
that is, out of the middes of the fire:
5 and out of the middes
therof the similitude of foure note liuing creatures: and this was
their look: the similitude of a man in them.
6 There were four
faces to one, and foure winges to one.
7 Their feete streight
feete, and the sole of their foote as the sole of a calues foote,
and sparkes as the forme of glowing brasse.
8 And the handes
of a man vnder their winges in foure partes: and they had
faces, and winges by the foure partes.
9 And the winges of
them were ioyned one to an other. They note returned not when
they went: but euerie one went before his face.
10 And the
similitude of their countenance: the face of a man, and the
face of a lyon on the right hand of them foure: and the face
of an oxe, on the left hand of them foure: and the face of an
eagle ouer them foure.
11 And their faces, and their winges
were streched out aboue: two winges of euerie one were ioyned,
and two couered their bodies:
12 and euerie one of them
walked before his face: where the force of the spirite was,
-- --
thither they went: neither did they returne when they went:
neither did they returne when they walked.
13 And the similitude
of the liuing creatures, their looke as it were of coales
of burning fire, & as it were the resemblance of lampes. This
was the vision running in the middes of the liuing creatures,
brightnes of fire, and from the fire lightening going forth.
14 And the liuing creatures went, and returned after the similitude
of glistering lightning.
15 And when I beheld the liuing
creatures, there appeared one wheele vpon the earth by the liuing
creatures, hauing foure faces.
16 And the shape of the
wheeles, and the worke of them, as it were apparence of the
sea: and one similitude of them foure: and their apparence
and worke, as if it were note a wheele in the middes of a wheele.
17 By their foure partes going they went: and they returned
not when they walked.
18 There was a stature also to the
wheeles, and height, and a fearful forme: and the whole bodie
was ful of eies round about them foure.
19 And when the liuing
creatures walked, the wheeles also walked together by
them: and when the liuing creatures were lifted vp from the
earth, the wheeles also were lifted vp together.
20 Whithersoeuer
the spirit went, thither the spirit going, the wheeles also
were lifted vp withal, folowing it: for the spirit of life was in
the wheeles.
21 With them going they went, and with them
standing they stood, and with them lifted vp from the earth,
the wheeles also were lifted vp together, folowing them: because
the spirit of life was in the wheeles.
22 And a similitude
ouer the heades of the liuing creatures of the firmament, as
it were the sight of christal dreadful, and streched out ouer
their heades aboue.
23 And vnder the firmament the winges of
them streight one toward an other, euerie one with two
winges couered his bodie, and the other was couered in like
maner.
24 And I heard the sound of the winges, as it were the
sound of manie waters, as it were the sound of the high God,
when they walked, it was as the voice of a multitude, as the
sound of a campe, and when they stood, their winges were let
downe.
25 For when a voice was made aboue the firmament,
that was ouer their head, they stood, and let downe their
winges.
26 And note aboue the firmament, that hung ouer their
head, as it were the forme of the sapphire stone the similitude
of a throne, and vpon the similitude of the throne, a similitude
as it were the shape of a man aboue.
27 And I saw as it were
-- --
the forme of amber, as the resemblance of fire within it round
about: from his loines & vpward, and from his loines downward,
I saw as it were the resemblance of fire glistering round
about.
28 As the forme of the bow when it is in a clowde on
a day of rayne, this was the forme of the brightnes round
about.
