Ezekiel 1:2-4

New American Standard Bible

² (On the fifth of the month ^[a]in the ^(A)fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile, ³ the ^(B)word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the ^(C)land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there ^(D)the hand of the Lord came upon him.)

⁴ As I looked, behold, a ^(E)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 ^(F)gleaming ^[b]metal in the midst of the fire.
