Ezekiel 1-3

The Vision of Four Living Creatures

Eze 1:1, 3 LSB - 

[1] Now it happened in the thirtieth year, on the fifth [day] of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles, [that] the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. ... 

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

The Vision of the Glory of Yahweh

Eze 1:26-28 LSB - [26] Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something in the likeness of a throne, like sapphire stone in appearance; and upon the likeness of the throne, high up, [was] the likeness of one with the appearance of a man. 

[27] Then I saw from the appearance of His loins and upward something like the gleam of glowing metal with the appearance of fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something with the appearance of fire; and [there was] a radiance all around Him. 

[28] As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so [was] the appearance of the radiance all around. Such [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. And I saw [this], and I fell on my face and heard a sound [of a voice] speaking.

The Sending of Ezekiel

Eze 2:2 LSB - [2] And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and caused me to stand on my feet; and I heard [Him] speaking to me.

Eze 2:3-4 LSB - 

[3] Then He said to me, "Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. 

[4] "I am sending you to them who are stiff-faced and strong-hearted children, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says Lord Yahweh.'

Eze 2:6-7 LSB - 

[6] "Now as for you, son of man, do not fear them and do not fear their words, though thistles and briers are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house. 

[7] "But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.

Eze 2:8-10 LSB - 

[8] "Now as for you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you." 

[9] Then I looked, and behold, a hand was sent forth to me; and behold, a scroll [was] in it. 

[10] Then He spread it out before me, and it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, sighing, and woe.

Ezekiel Sent to the House of Israel

Eze 3:1-3 LSB - 

[1] Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel." 

[2] So I opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll. 

[3] And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you." Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

Eze 3:17 LSB - [17] "Son of man, I have given you as a watchman to the house of Israel; so you will hear a word from My mouth, and you shall warn them from Me.
