2. On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3. The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
4. And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire engulfing itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of its midst as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5. Also out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
6. And each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
