Ezekiel 1:22–28

²²The shape of an expanse, ^ewith a gleam like awe-inspiring crystal, ^fwas spread out over the heads of the living creatures. ^g23And under the expanse their wings extended one toward another. Each of them also had two wings covering their bodies. ²⁴When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of mighty waters, ^hlike the voice of the Almighty, ⁱand a sound of commotion like the noise of an army. ^jWhen they stood still, they lowered their wings.

²⁵A voice came from above the expanse over their heads; when they stood still, they lowered their wings. ²⁶The shape of a throne with the appearance of sapphire ^kstone was above the expanse. ^lmThere was a form with the appearance of a human on the throne high above. ⁿ²⁷From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around. ^oFrom what seemed to be His waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around Him. ²⁸The appearance of the brilliant light all around was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. ^pThis was the appearance of the form of the Lord’s glory. ^qWhen I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking. ^r
