Ezekiel 1:3 ASV

¹  Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth 'month', in the fifth 'day' of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

²  In the fifth 'day' of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,

³  the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.

⁴  And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

⁵  And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
