the word of the Lord came to the priest Ezekiel son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was on him there.

I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who lived by the river Chebar. And I sat there among them, stunned, for seven days.

So I rose up and went out into the valley; and the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory that I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

The cherubim rose up. These were the living creatures that I saw by the river Chebar.

These were the living creatures that I saw underneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

The vision I saw was like the vision that I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and like the vision that I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
