Yehezkiel 1:12

1:12 Each moved straight ahead ¹  – wherever the spirit ²  would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

Yehezkiel 1:24

1:24 When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings – it was like the sound of rushing waters, or the voice of the Almighty, ³  or the tumult ⁴  of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

[1:12]  ¹ tn See the note on “straight ahead” in v. 9.

[1:12]  ² tn Or “wind.”

[1:24]  ³ tn Heb “Shaddai” (probably meaning “one of the mountain”), a title that depicts God as the sovereign ruler of the world who dispenses justice. The Old Greek translation omitted the phrase “voice of the Almighty.”

[1:24]  ⁴ tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew word translated “tumult” is in Jer 11:16. It indicates a noise like that of the turmoil of a military camp or the sound of an army on the march.
