as I°
[was] among°

[that] the heavens°
were opened,°°
and I saw°°

|
1:4 ¶
And I looked, and, behold, a sweeping wind came from the north, and a great cloud on it, and [there was] brightness round about it, and gleaming fire, and in the midst of it as it were the appearance of amber in the midst of the fire, and brightness in it. |
|
1:4 ¶
And I looked,°°
and, behold,°
a whirlwind°°
came°°
out of°
the north,°
a great°
cloud,°
and a fire°
infolding°°
itself,°
and a brightness°
[was] about°
it, and out of the midst°°
thereof as the colour°
of amber,°
out of the midst°°
of the fire.° |
|
1:5
And in the midst as it were the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; the likeness of a man was upon them. |
|
1:5
Also out of the midst°°
thereof [came] the likeness°
of four°
living creatures.°
And this°
[was] their appearance;°
they°
had the likeness°
of a man.° |
|
1:6
And each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] four wings. |
|
1:6
And every one°
had four°
faces,°
and every one°
had four°
wings.° |
|
1:7
And their legs were straight; and their feet were winged, and [there were] sparks, like gleaming brass, and their wings were light. |
|
1:7
And their feet°
[were] straight°
feet;°
and the sole°
of their feet°
[was] like the sole°
of a calf's°
foot:°
and they sparkled°°
like the colour°
of burnished°
brass.° |
|
1:8
And the hand of a man was under their wings on their four sides. |
|
1:8
And [they had] the hands°
of a man°
under°°
their wings°
on°
their four°
sides;°
and they four°
had their faces°
and their wings.° |
|
1:9
And the faces of them four turned not when they went; they went everyone straight forward. |
|
1:9
Their wings°
[were] joined°°
one°
to°
another;°
they turned°°
not°
when they went;°°°
they went°°°
every one°
straight°
forward.° |
|
1:10
And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of the four; and the face of a calf on the left of the four; and the face of an eagle to the four. |
|
1:10
As for the likeness°
of their faces,°
they four°
had the face°
of a man,°
and the face°
of a lion,°
on°
the right side:°
and they four°
had the face°
of an ox°
on the left side;°°
they four°
also had the face°
of an eagle.° |
|
1:11
And the four had their wings spread out above; each one [had] two joined to one another, and two covered their bodies. |
|
1:11
Thus [were] their faces:°
and their wings°
[were] stretched°°
upward;°°
two°
[wings] of every one°
[were] joined°°
one°
to another,°
and two°
covered°°°
their bodies.° |
|
1:12
And each one went straight forward: wherever the spirit was going they went, and turned not back. |
|
1:12
And they went°°°
every one°
straight°
forward:°
whither°°
the spirit°
was°
to go,°°°
they went;°°°
[and] they turned°°
not°
when they went.°°° |
|
1:13
And in the midst of the living creatures [there was] an appearance as of burning coals of fire, as an appearance of lamps turning among the living creatures; and the brightness of fire, and out of the fire came forth lightning. |
|
1:13
As for the likeness°
of the living creatures,°
their appearance°
[was] like burning°°
coals°
of fire,°
[and] like the appearance°
of lamps:°
it°
went up and down°°
among°
the living creatures;°
and the fire°
was bright,°
and out of°
the fire°
went forth°°
lightning.° |
|
1:14
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
1:14
And the living creatures°
ran°°
and returned°°
as the appearance°
of a flash of lightning.° |
|
1:15 ¶
And I looked, and, behold, the four [had each] one wheel on the ground near the living creatures. |
|
1:15 ¶
Now as I beheld°°
the living creatures,°
behold°
one°
wheel°
upon the earth°
by°
the living creatures,°
with his four°
faces.° |
|
1:16
And the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of beryl: and the four had one likeness: and their work was as it were a wheel in a wheel. |
|
1:16
The appearance°
of the wheels°
and their work°
[was] like unto the colour°
of a beryl:°
and they four°
had one°
likeness:°
and their appearance°
and their work°
[was] as°
it were°
a wheel°
in the middle°
of a wheel.° |
|
1:17
They went on their four sides: they turned not as they went; |
|
1:17
When they went,°°°
they went°°°
upon°
their four°
sides:°
[and] they turned°°
not°
when they went.°°° |
|
1:18
neither did their backs [turn]: and they were high: and I beheld them, and the backs of them four were full of eyes round about. |
|
1:18
As for their rings,°
they were so high°
that they were dreadful;°
and their rings°
[were] full°
of eyes°
round about°
them four.° |
|
1:19
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves off the earth. the wheels were lifted off. |
|
1:19
And when the living creatures°
went,°°°
the wheels°
went°°°
by°
them:°
and when the living creatures°
were lifted up°°
from°°
the earth,°
the wheels°
were lifted up.°° |
|
1:20
Wherever the cloud happened to be, there was the spirit ready to go: the wheels went and were lifted up with them; because the spirit of life was in the wheels. |
|
1:20
Whithersoever°°°
the spirit°
was°
to go,°°°
they went,°°°
thither°
[was their] spirit°
to go;°°°
and the wheels°
were lifted up°°
over against°
them: for°
the spirit°
of the living creature°
[was] in the wheels.° |
|
1:21
When those went, [the wheels] went; and when those stood, [the wheels] stood; and when those lifted themselves off the earth, they were lifted off with them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels. |
|
1:21
When those went,°°°
[these] went;°°°
and when those stood,°°
[these] stood;°°
and when those were lifted up°°
from°°
the earth,°
the wheels°
were lifted up°°
over against°
them: for°
the spirit°
of the living creature°
[was] in the wheels.° |
|
1:22
And the likeness over the heads of the living creatures was as a firmament, as the appearance of crystal, spread out over their wings above. |
|
1:22
And the likeness°
of the firmament°
upon°
the heads°
of the living creature°
[was] as the colour°
of the terrible°°
crystal,°
stretched forth°°
over°
their heads°
above.°° |
|
1:23
And their wings were spread out under the firmament, reaching one to the other; two [wings] to each, covering their bodies. |
|
1:23
And under°
the firmament°
[were] their wings°
straight,°
the one°
toward°
the other:°
every one°
had two,°
which covered°°
on this side,°
and every one°
had two,°
which covered°°
on that side,°°
their bodies.° |
|
1:24
And I heard the sound of their wings when they went, as the sound of much water: and when they stood, their wings were let down. |
|
1:24
And when they went,°°°
I heard°°°
the noise°
of their wings,°
like the noise°
of great°
waters,°
as the voice°
of Shaddai,°
the voice°
of speech,°
as the noise°
of an host:°
when they stood,°°
they let down°°
their wings.° |
|
1:25
And lo! a voice from above the firmament |
|
1:25
And there was°
a voice°
from°°
the firmament°
that°
[was] over°
their heads,°
when they stood,°°
[and] had let down°°
their wings.° |
|
1:26 ¶
that was over their head, [there was] as the appearance of a sapphire stone, [and] the likeness of a throne upon it: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as an appearance of a man above. |
|
1:26 ¶
And above°°
the firmament°
that°
[was] over°
their heads°
[was] the likeness°
of a throne,°
as the appearance°
of a sapphire°
stone:°
and upon°
the likeness°
of the throne°
[was] the likeness°
as the appearance°
of a man°
above°°
upon°
it. |
|
1:27
And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber from the appearance of the loins and upwards, and from the appearance of the loins and under I saw an appearance of fire, and the brightness thereof round about. |
|
1:27
And I saw°°
as the colour°
of amber,°
as the appearance°
of fire°
round about°
within°
it, from the appearance°°
of his loins°
even upward,°
and from the appearance°°
of his loins°
even downward,°
I saw°°
as it were the appearance°
of fire,°
and it had brightness°
round about.° |
|
1:28
As the appearance of the bow when it is in the cloud in days of rain, so was the form of brightness round about. |
|
1:28
As the appearance°
of the bow°
that°
is°
in the cloud°
in the day°
of rain,°
so°
[was] the appearance°
of the brightness°
round about.°
This°
[was] the appearance°
of the likeness°
of the glory°
of Yahweh.°
And when I saw°°
[it], I fell°°
upon°
my face,°
and I heard°°
a voice°
of one that spake.°° |
