Ezekiel 1:22–28

²²And a likeness is over the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as the colour of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above. ²³And under the expanse their wings are straight, one toward the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to each are two covering on that side—their bodies. ²⁴And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going—the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let fall their wings. ²⁵And there is a voice from above the expanse, that is above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings.

²⁶And above the expanse that is over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, is the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above. ²⁷And I see as the colour of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness is to it round about. ²⁸As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so is the appearance of the brightness round about.
