God's Word Translation

Ezekiel 10:7-18 God's Word Translation (GW)

7. One of the angels reached into the fire that was between the angels and took out some coals. This angel put them in the hands of the person dressed in linen. The person took them and left.

8. The angels appeared to have what looked like human hands under their wings.

9. As I looked, I saw four wheels beside the angels, one wheel beside each of the angels. The wheels looked like beryl.

10. All four wheels looked the same. Each was like a wheel within a wheel.

11. Whenever the angels moved, they moved in any of the four directions without turning as they moved. They always moved in the direction they faced without turning as they moved.

12. Their entire bodies, their backs, hands, wings, and wheels were covered with eyes. Each of the angels had a wheel.

13. I heard that the wheels were called the whirling wheels.

14. Each of the angels had four faces. The first was the face of an angel, the second was the face of a human, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.

15. The angels rose. These were the living creatures that I saw at the Chebar River.

16. When the angels moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the angels lifted their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels didn’t leave their side.

17. When the angels stood still, the wheels stood still. When the angels rose, the wheels rose with them. The spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

18. Then the glory of the Lord left the temple’s entrance and stood over the angels.
