In context

2 On the fifth day of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—

3 the word of the LORD came directly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Kebar. And there the LORD’s hand was upon him.

4 I looked and saw a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire was a gleam like amber,

5 and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form,

6 but each had four faces and four wings.
