rotherham@Ezekiel:1:1 @ And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth mouth on the fifth day of the month I being in the midst of them of the captivity, by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:2 @ On the fifth of the month, that was the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:3 @ in very deed came the word of Yahweh unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar, yea the hand of Yahweh I came on him there I-
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:4 @ So then I beheld and lo! a tempestuous wind coming out of the North, a great cloud and a fire catching hold of itself, and it had a brightness round about,
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:5 @ and out of the midst thereof, as burnished copper to look upon out of the midst of the fire; and out of the midst thereof, a likeness of four living ones, and this was their appearance, the likeness of a man, had they;
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:6 @ and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:7 @ and their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, but sparkling, as shining bronze to look upon;
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:8 @ and the hands of a man! were under their wings, on their four sides, and their faces and their wings belonged to the four of them:
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:9 @ joined to each other, were their wings, they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:10 @ and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, the face of an eagle, also had they four;
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:11 @ and their wings were spread above, two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies;
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:12 @ and each one straight before him, did they go, whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not when they went.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:13 @ As for the likeness of the living ones, their appearance was like live coals of fire burning up like the appearance of torches, the same went to and fro between the living ones, and the fire had brightness and out of the fire, went forth a lightning.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:14 @ And the living ones ran and returned, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:15 @ And I looked at the living ones, and lo! one wheel upon the earth beside the living ones for each of his four faces,
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:16 @ The appearance of the wheels and of their structure was like a Tarshish-stone to look upon, and they four had one likeness, and their appearance and their structure were just as would be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:17 @ Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, they turned not when they went.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:18 @ As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:19 @ And when the living ones went, the wheels went beside them, and when the living ones were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up:
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:20 @ whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they wentthither was the spirit minded to go, and the wheels would be lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels:
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:21 @ when they went, these went, and when they stood, there stood, ad when they were lifted up from off the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:22 @ And there was a likeness over the heads of the living onean expanse, like terrible crystal to look upon, -stretched forth over their heads above.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:23 @ And under the expanse, their wings were straight, one towards another, each one had two covering on this side, and each one had two covering on that side, their bodies.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:24 @ And I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of many waters, as the sound of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of a storm as the sound of a host, when they stood, they let down their wings,
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:25 @ And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, when they stood, they let down their wings.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:26 @ And above the expanse that was over their heads, as the appearance of a sapphire stone, was the likeness of a throne, and upon the likeness of a throne, was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:27 @ And I saw as burnished copper to look upon, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upwards and from the appearance of his loins and downward, saw I as the appearance of fire, and he had brightness round about:
rotherham@Ezekiel:1:28 @ as the appearance of the bow which is in a cloud on a day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about, that was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh, and when I saw, I fell upon my face, and heard a voice of one speaking.
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:1 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, Stand upon thy feet, that I may, speak with thee.
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:2 @ Then the Spirit entered into me as soon as he spoke unto me, and it caused me to stand upon my feet, and I heard one speaking unto me.
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And he said unto me- Son of man I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto rebellious nations, which have rebelled against me, they, and their fathers have transgressed against me, until this very day;
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:4 @ and it is unto such sonsof shameless face, and emboldened heart, that I am sending thee, therefore shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh.
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:5 @ And they! whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for a perverse house, they are, shall then know that la prophet hath been in their midst.
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:6 @ But thou son of man Be not afraid of them Nor of their words, be afraid Though thorns and thistles are about thee, And amongst prickly plants, thou dost dwell, Of their words, be not afraid nor At their faces, be thou dismayed, For a perverse house, they are!
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:7 @ Thou shalt therefore speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear For perverse, they are!
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:8 @ Thou, therefore son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee., become not perverse like the perverse house, open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:9 @ So I looked, and lo! a hand put forth unto me, and lo! therein a scroll;
rotherham@Ezekiel:2:10 @ and he spread it out before me, and, it was written on the front and the back, and there were written thereon, lamentation and sighing, and wailing.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:1 @ Then said he unto me, Son of man What thou findest, eat,-eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:2 @ So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat this roll.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:3 @ Then said he unto me Son of man. Thy belly, cause thou to eat and thy bowels, fl thou with this roll which I am giving unto thee. So I did eat, and it became in my mouth, as honey for sweetness.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:4 @ Then said he unto me, Son of man Go get thee unto the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak with my words, unto them.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:5 @ For not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue, art thou sent unto the house of Israel:
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:6 @ liner unto many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou couldst not understand, surely if unto them I had sent thee, they would have hearkened unto thee.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel will not be willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto me, for all the house of Israel are bold of forehead and hard of heart.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:8 @ Lo! I have made thy face bold like as their faces, and thy forehead bold like as their forehead.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:9 @ As an adamant harder than flint, have I made thy forehead, thou shalt not fear them neither shalt thou be dismayed at their faces, For a perverse house, they are!
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:10 @ Then said he unto me, Son of man. All my words which I shall speak unto thee, receive thou into thy heart and in thine ears, hear thou:
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:11 @ then go get thee unto them of the captivity, unto the cons of thy people, and thou shalt speak unto them and say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:12 @ Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, Blessed be the glory of Yahweh. From his place!
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:13 @ Yea the sound of the wings of the living ones, gently touching each other, and the sound of the wheels, along with them, even the sound of a great rushing.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:14 @ So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went bitterly, in the rage of my spirit, but the hand of Yahweh upon me was strong.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:15 @ Thus came I unto them of the captivity, at Tel-abib. who were dwelling towards he river Chebar and I dwelt where They were dwelling; yea I dwelt there seven days, stunned in their midst,
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:16 @ And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came unto me saying
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:17 @ Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee to the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear, at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them from me.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:18 @ When I say to the lawless man Thou shalt surely die, and thou hast not given him warning, neither hast spoken to warn the lawless man from his lawless way, to save him- self alive the same lawless man in his iniquity shall die, but his blood, tat thy hand will I require.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:19 @ Whereas when thou hast warned a lawless man, and he hath not turned from his lawlessness and from his lawless way he in his iniquity shall die, but Thou hast delivered thine own soul.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:20 @ And when a righteous man hath turned from his righteousness, and committed perversity, and I have suffered a stumbling- block to be laid before him he shall die, though thou hast not warned him, in his sin I shall he die, neither shall be remembered his righteous deeds which he hath done, but his blood, at thy hand will I require;
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:21 @ whereas when Thou hast warned a righteous man. That a righteous man must not sin and he hath not sinned, he shall surely live in that he took warning, and thou hast delivered thine own soul.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:22 @ Then came upon me there the hand of Yahweh, and he said unto me, Arise go forth into the valley, and there, will I speak with thee.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:23 @ So I arose and went forth into the valley, and lo! there the glory of Yahweh, standing, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar,-and I fell upon my face.
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:24 @ Then the Spirit entered into me, and caused me to stand upon my feet, and he spake with me and said unto me, Go in shut thyself up, in the midst of thine own house,
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:25 @ And thou O son of man, lo! they have put upon thee bands, and they will bind thee therewith,-.so that thou go not forth in their midst;
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:26 @ thy tongue also, will I cause to cleave unto the roof of thy mouth, so shalt thou be dumb and not be to them a reprover, For a perverse house, they are!
rotherham@Ezekiel:3:27 @ But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, He that is minded to hear, let him hear, And he that is minded to forbear, let him forbear! For a perverse house, they are!
rotherham@Ezekiel:4:1 @ Thou therefore O son of man Take thee a tablet, and lay it before thee, and pourtray thereon a city, even Jerusalem.
