Ezekiel 1:22–28

²²And the likeness of ^ppthe firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible ^qcrystal, stretched forth over their heads above. ²³And under the firmament were their wings ^rstraight, the one toward the other: every one had two, ^swhich covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. ²⁴And when they went, ^tI heard the noise of their wings, ^ulike the noise of great waters, as ^tvthe voice of ^wthe Almighty, the voice of ^xspeech, ^yas the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. ²⁵And there was a voice from ^pthe firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.

²⁶And above ^pthe firmament that was over their heads was ^zthe likeness of a throne, ^zas the appearance of ^aa sapphire stone: and ^bupon the likeness of the throne was the likeness ^bas the appearance of a man above upon it. ²⁷And I saw ^cas the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, ^ccfrom 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 ^dit had brightness round about. ^28eAs the appearance of the bow ^fthat is in the cloud in the day of rain, ^dso was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of ^gthe glory of the Lord. ^hAnd when I saw it, ^hI fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
