sf_leeser_rev1 Ezekiel:1-3

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:1 @ And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was in the midst of the exiles by the river Kebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw divine visions.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:2 @ On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of the exile of king Jehoyachin,

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:3 @ Came the word of the Lord expressly unto Ezekiel the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Kebar; and there came upon him there the inspiration of the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:4 @ And I saw, and behold, a stormwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a flaming fire, and a brightness was on it round about; and out of the midst of it was like the glitter of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:5 @ And out of the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:6 @ And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:7 @ And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calfs foot: and they sparkled like the glitter of burnished copper.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:8 @ And hands of man from beneath their wings on their four sides: and their faces and their wings on all these four.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:9 @ Their wings were joined one to the other: they turned not about in their going; they went every one in the direction of one of their faces.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:10 @ And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man; and the face of a lion, on the right side for all four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side for all four of them; and the face of an eagle for all four of them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:11 @ Thus were their faces: and their wings were spread out upward; every one had two joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:12 @ And they went every one in the direction of one of his faces: whither the spirit was directed to go, they went; they turned not about in their going.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:13 @ As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like coals of fire, burning as with the appearance of torches; this it was which passed along between the living creatures: and a brightness was about the fire, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:14 @ And the living creatures ran backward and forward like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:15 @ And I looked on the living creatures, and, behold, there was one wheel upon the earth close by the living creatures, by their four front faces.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:16 @ The appearance of the wheels and their work was like the color of a chrysolite; and all four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as though it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:17 @ Toward their four sides they went in their going: they turned not round in their going.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:18 @ As for their circumferences, they were so high that they excited fear: and their felloes were full of eyes round about on all these four.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:19 @ And when the living creatures went, the wheels went near to them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves up.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:20 @ Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither was spirit to go: and the wheels lifted themselves up at the same time with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:21 @ When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves up at the same time with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:22 @ And the likeness of a vault was over the head of the living creatures, like the glitter of the purest crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:23 @ And under the vault their wings were straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered them, and every one had two, which covered them, their bodies.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:24 @ And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of speech, as the noise of an army: when they stood still, they let down their wings.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:25 @ And there was a voice from the vault that was over their head: when they stood still, they let down their wings.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:26 @ And above the vault that was over their head was like the appearance of a sapphirestone, the likeness of a throne: and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:27 @ And I saw as if it were the glitter of amber, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins upward; and from the appearance of his loins downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:1:28 @ Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about: this was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:1 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, stand up upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:2 @ And a spirit entered into me as he spoke unto me, and it placed me upon my feet, and I heard him that spoke unto me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious tribes that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even until this very day.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:4 @ And the children are impudent of face, and obdurate of heart: I send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:5 @ And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, shall yet know that a prophet hath been among them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:6 @ And thou, son of man,thou shalt not be afraid of them, and of their words thou shalt have no fear, though they be briers and thorns with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: of their words be not afraid, and at their presence be not dismayed; for they are a rebellious family.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:7 @ And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:8 @ But thou, son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee, Be not thou rebellious like this rebellious family: open thy mouth, and eat what I give unto thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:9 @ And then I looked, and behold, a hand was stretched out toward me; and, lo, a rollbook was therein;

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:2:10 @ And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without: and there were written therein lamentations, and dirges, and woe.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:1 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, eat what thou findest: eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:2 @ So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat this roll.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:3 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, feed thy belly, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I am giving unto thee. And I ate it; and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:4 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:5 @ For not to a people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue art thou sent, but to the house of Israel;

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:6 @ Not to many people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would truly have hearkened unto thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me; for all the house of Israel have a bold forehead, and a hard heart.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:8 @ Behold, I have made thy face strong against their face, and thy forehead strong against their forehead.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:9 @ As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: thou shalt not fear them, nor shalt thou be dismayed at their presence, though they be a rebellious family.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:10 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I will speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:11 @ And go, get thee to those in exile, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal: whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:12 @ Then a spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:13 @ also the sound of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the sound of the wheels at the same time with them, and the sound of a great rushing.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:14 @ So a spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I walked in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the inspiration of the Lord was strong upon me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:15 @ Then came I to the exiles at Telabib, who dwelt by the river Kebar, and I remained where they dwelt, and I remained there in a state of confusion among them seven days.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:16 @ And it came to pass at the end of seven days, That the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:17 @ Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and give them warning from me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:18 @ When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not give him warning, and speakest not to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life: the same wicked man shall die through his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:19 @ But thou,if thou hast warned the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way: he shall indeed die in his iniquity; but thou hast surely delivered thy soul.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:20 @ Again, When a righteous man do turn from his righteousness, and do what is wrong: then will I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die; yet if thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his acts of righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require from thy hand.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:21 @ But if thou hast truly warned him,the righteous, that the righteous should not sin, and he doth not sin: he shall surely live, because he attended to the warning, and thou hast surely delivered thy own soul.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:22 @ And the inspiration of the Lord came there over me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the valley, and there will I speak with thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:23 @ And I arose, and went forth into the valley; and, behold, there was the glory of the Lord standing, like that glory which I had seen by the river Kebar: and I fell down on my face.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:24 @ Then entered a spirit into me, and placed me upright on my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself up within thy house.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:25 @ But thou, O son of man, behold, they put ropes upon thee, and bind thee with them, that thou canst not go out among them:

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:26 @ And I will let thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not become to them a man who reproveth; for they are a rebellious family.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:3:27 @ But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forebear; for they are a rebellious family.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:4:1 @ But thou, O son of man, take thyself a tile, and lay it before thee, and engrave upon it a city, Jerusalem:
