22 Now 1over the heads of the living[a]beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesomegleam of [b]crystal, spread out over* their heads.
23
Under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, onetoward the other; eachone also had 2two wings covering its body on the oneside and on the other.
24
I also heard the sound of their wings like the 3sound of abundantwaters as they went, like the 4voice of [c]the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the 5sound of an armycamp; whenever they stoodstill, they dropped their wings.
25
And there came a voice from above the 6expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stoodstill, they dropped their wings.
26
Now 7above* the expanse that was over their heads there was something8resembling a throne, like [d]9lapis*lazuli* in appearance; and on that whichresembled a throne, high* up, was a figure with the appearance of a 10man.
27
Then I [e]noticed from the appearance of His loins and upwardsomething11like [f]glowingmetal that looked like fireallaroundwithin it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I sawsomething like fire; and there was a radiancearound Him.
28
As the appearance of the 12rainbow[g]in the clouds on a rainyday, so was the appearance of the surroundingradiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the 13glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I 14fell on my face and heard a voicespeaking.
