moved, the wheels rose up with them, for the spirit of the living being was also in the wheels: when they moved, they too moved, and when they stood, they too stood, and when they rose up from the ground, the wheels too rose up with them, because the spirit of the living being was in the wheels. And above the heads of the living beings there was the form ofa dome, with asemblance of the terrible ice, suspended over their heads from above; and beneath the dome, their wings were straightened out towards each other, a pair covering them here, and another pair covering them there, over their bodies. And I heard the sound of their wings and it was like the sound ofa mass of waters, like the voice of the Almighty, when they moved; the sound of roaring, like the sound of an encampment. Standing still, they lowered their wings; a voice came from upon the dome which was over their heads standing still, they lowered their wings. And above the dome which was over their heads, with the appearance of a sapphire, was the form ofa throne; and on the form of the throne there was a form with the appearance of a man, upon it, from above. And I saw: a semblance of amber, the appearance of fire encasing it, from what appeared to be his waist and above; and from what appeared to be his waist and below, I saw an appearance like fire with a brightness around it — it was like the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, the brightness around it had that appearance. This was the appearance of the form of the glory of God — and I saw it, and I fell upon my face, and [heard a voice speak. Then a wind lifted me up and I heard behind me the sound of a great noise, Ezek. 3:12 saying, “Blessed is the LORD’s glory from His place.’ falls on his face and hears a voice speak. The Haftara then moves to the close of the vision, in which Ezekiel, lifted by a wind, hears a great voice saying, “Blessed is the LORD’s glory from His place.” Much of this is deeply obscure, and became the basis of an esoteric tradition known as Merkava, or “chariot,” mysticism. This vision, mysteriously transmitted as it were from the Temple in Jerusalem to the prophet in exile, carried with it the assurance that God was still with His people, that their defeat and dispersion were not permanent, that the covenant was still in place, and that when the spirit lifts us, as the wind lifted Ezekiel, we can still sense the glory of God, however opaque, for though we may seem far from Him, He is never far from us.
