Ezekiel 1:2-6

(On the fifth of the month in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile,

the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the Lord came upon him.)

As I looked, behold, a high wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing intermittently and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like gleaming metal in the midst of the fire.

And within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human form.

Each of them had four faces and four wings.
