Qari

The Book of the Prophet Ezekial 1: 2-5, 24-28

1:2	On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
1:3	the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him there.
1:4	And I saw, u ara, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, jiġifieri, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber.
1:5	And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them.
1:24	And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the sublime God. When they walked, it was like the sound of a multitude, like the sound of an army. And when they stood still, their wings were let down.
1:25	For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put down their wings.
1:26	And above the firmament, which was suspended over their heads, there was the likeness of a throne, with the appearance of the sapphire stone. And over the likeness of the throne, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man above it.
1:27	And I saw something with the appearance of amber, with the likeness of fire within it and all around it. And from his waist and upward, and from his waist downward, I saw something with the appearance of fire shining all around.
1:28	There was the appearance of the rainbow, as when it is in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor on every side.

17:25	U qal, “From foreigners.” Jesus said to him: “Then the sons are free.
17:26	But so that we may not become an obstacle to them: go to the sea, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish that is brought up, and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to them, for me and for you.”
