Ezekiel 1:4-14

Geneva(i) 4 And I looked, and beholde, a whirlewinde came out of the North, a great cloude and a fire wrapped about it, and a brightnesse was about it, and in the middes thereof, to wit, in the middes of the fire came out as the likenesse of amber. 5 Also out of the middes therof came the likenesse of foure beastes, and this was their forme: they had the appearance of a man. 6 And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings. 7 And their feete were streight feete, and the sole of their feete was like the sole of a calues foote, and they sparkled like the appearance of bright brasse. 8 And the handes of a man came out from vnder their wings in the foure parts of them, and they foure had their faces, and their wings. 9 They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward. 10 And the similitude of their faces was as the face of a man: and they foure had the face of a lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of a bullocke on the left side: they foure also had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces: but their wings were spred out aboue: two wings of euery one were ioined one to another, and two couered their bodies. 12 And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth. 13 The similitude also of the beasts, and their appearance was like burning coles of fire, and like the appearance of lampes: for the fire ran among the beastes, and the fire gaue a glister, and out of the fire there went lightning. 14 And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
