HAFTARA FOR FIRST DAY OF SHAVUOT

Ezek. 1:1-28
Hebrew
וַיְהִי ׀ בִּשְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה בָּרְבִיעִי בַּחֲמִשָּׁה לַחֹדֶשׁ וַאֲנִי בְתוֹךְ־הַגּוֹלָה עַל־נְהַר־
כְּבָר נִפְתְּחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וָאֶרְאֶה מַרְאוֹת אֱלֹהִים׃ בַּחֲמִשָּׁה לַחֹדֶשׁ הִיא הַשָּׁנָה
הַחֲמִישִׁית לְגָלוּת הַמֶּלֶךְ יוֹיָכִין׃ הָיֹה הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־יְחֶזְקֵאל בֶּן־בּוּזִי
הַכֹּהֵן בְּאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים עַל־נְהַר־כְּבָר וַתְּהִי עָלָיו שָׁם יַד־יְהוָה׃ וָאֵרֶא וְהִנֵּה רוּחַ
סְעָרָה בָּאָה מִן־הַצָּפוֹן עָנָן גָּדוֹל וְאֵשׁ מִתְלַקַּחַת וְנֹגַהּ לוֹ סָבִיב וּמִתּוֹכָהּ כְּעֵין
הַחַשְׁמַל מִתּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ׃ וּמִתּוֹכָהּ דְּמוּת אַרְבַּע חַיּוֹת וְזֶה מַרְאֵיהֶן דְּמוּת אָדָם
לָהֵנָּה׃ וְאַרְבָּעָה פָנִים לְאֶחָת וְאַרְבַּע כְּנָפַיִם לְאַחַת לָהֶם׃ וְרַגְלֵיהֶם רֶגֶל יְשָׁרָה
וְכַף רַגְלֵיהֶם כְּכַף רֶגֶל עֵגֶל וְנֹצְצִים כְּעֵין נְחֹשֶׁת קָלָל׃ וְיַדֵי אָדָם מִתַּחַת כַּנְפֵיהֶם
עַל אַרְבַּעַת רִבְעֵיהֶם וּפְנֵיהֶם וְכַנְפֵיהֶם לְאַרְבַּעְתָּם׃ חֹבְרֹת אִשָּׁה אֶל־אֲחוֹתָהּ
כַּנְפֵיהֶם לֹא־יִסַּבּוּ בְּלֶכְתָּן אִישׁ אֶל־עֵבֶר פָּנָיו יֵלֵכוּ׃ וּדְמוּת פְּנֵיהֶם פְּנֵי אָדָם
וּפְנֵי אַרְיֵה אֶל־הַיָּמִין לְאַרְבַּעְתָּם וּפְנֵי־שׁוֹר מֵהַשְּׂמֹאול לְאַרְבַּעְתָּן וּפְנֵי־נֶשֶׁר
לְאַרְבַּעְתָּן׃ וּפְנֵיהֶם וְכַנְפֵיהֶם פְּרֻדוֹת מִלְמָעְלָה לְאִישׁ שְׁתַּיִם חֹבְרוֹת אִישׁ
וּשְׁתַּיִם מְכַסּוֹת אֵת גְּוִיֹּתֵיהֶנָה׃ וְאִישׁ אֶל־עֵבֶר פָּנָיו יֵלֵכוּ אֶל אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה־שָׁמָּה
הָרוּחַ לָלֶכֶת יֵלֵכוּ לֹא יִסַּבּוּ בְּלֶכְתָּן׃ וּדְמוּת הַחַיּוֹת מַרְאֵיהֶם כְּגַחֲלֵי־אֵשׁ
בֹּעֲרוֹת כְּמַרְאֵה הַלַּפִּדִים הִיא מִתְהַלֶּכֶת בֵּין הַחַיּוֹת וְנֹגַהּ לָאֵשׁ וּמִן־הָאֵשׁ
יוֹצֵא בָרָק׃ וְהַחַיּוֹת רָצוֹא וָשׁוֹב כְּמַרְאֵה הַבָּזָק׃ וָאֵרֶא הַחַיּוֹת וְהִנֵּה אוֹפַן
אֶחָד בָּאָרֶץ אֵצֶל הַחַיּוֹת לְאַרְבַּעַת פָּנָיו׃ מַרְאֵה הָאוֹפַנִּים וּמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם כְּעֵין
תַּרְשִׁישׁ וּדְמוּת אֶחָד לְאַרְבַּעְתָּן וּמַרְאֵיהֶם וּמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה הָאוֹפַן
בְּתוֹךְ הָאוֹפָן׃ עַל־אַרְבַּעַת רִבְעֵיהֶן בְּלֶכְתָּם יֵלֵכוּ לֹא יִסַּבּוּ בְּלֶכְתָּן׃ וְגַבֵּיהֶן
וְגֹבַהּ לָהֶם וְיִרְאָה לָהֶם וְגַבֹּתָם מְלֵאֹת עֵינַיִם סָבִיב לְאַרְבַּעְתָּן׃ וּבְלֶכֶת
הַחַיּוֹת יֵלְכוּ הָאוֹפַנִּים אֶצְלָם וּבְהִנָּשֵׂא הַחַיּוֹת מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ יִנָּשְׂאוּ הָאוֹפַנִּים׃
עַל אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה־שָׁם הָרוּחַ לָלֶכֶת יֵלֵכוּ שָׁמָּה הָרוּחַ לָלֶכֶת וְהָאוֹפַנִּים יִנָּשְׂאוּ

And it was in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day of the month: I was out in the exile, by the river Kevar, and the heavens opened up and I saw visions of God; on the fifth day of the month – it was the fifth year of the exile of king Jehoiachin. And so it was: the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel, the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of Kasdim, by the river Kevar; the hand of the LORD was upon him there. And I saw: behold, a storm-wind came from the north, a great cloud and a flaring fire with a bright glow about it, and inside it, within the fire, a semblance of amber; and within that was the form of four living beings – this was their appearance: they had the form of a man, and each one had four faces, and each of these had four wings; and their legs were straight-standing, and their feet were like a calf's hoof, and they gleamed with a semblance of burnished copper; they had man's hands beneath their wings, on their four sides, and the four of them had wings and faces. Their wings were joined to each other; they did not turn when they moved: each one moved in the direction of its face. And their faces were in the form of the face of a man, with the face of a lion on the right of the four, the face of an ox on the left of the four, and the face of an eagle. Their faces, and their wings were separate above: each one had two joining it to the other, and two covering its body; each one moved in the direction of its face – wherever the spirit wished to move, they moved – they did not turn when they moved; and the form of the living beings, their appearance, was like coals burning, like the appearance of torch-flames, it passed among the living beings; the fire had a bright glow, and lightning flashed out from the fire. And the living beings ran forward and back, like the appearance of darting-flames. And I saw the living beings – and behold, a wheel was on the ground with the living beings with the four faces. And the appearance of the wheels and their action had a semblance of topaz, and there was one form to each of the four; their appearance and their actions were as though one wheel were inside the other. When they moved, they moved on each of their four sides; they did not turn as they moved. Their rims were high, fearful; and the rims of all four of them were covered with eyes, all around. And when the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them; and when the living beings rose up above the ground, the wheels also rose up; wherever the spirit wished to move, they moved, there where the spirit
