26 And above the expanse over their heads there was ^tthe likeness of a throne, ^tin appearance ^ulike sapphire;¹ and seated above the likeness of a throne was ^va likeness with a human appearance.

28 Like the appearance of ^zthe bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.

Such was the appearance of the likeness of ^athe glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, ^bI fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

1 Then I looked, and behold, ^xon the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something ^ylike a sapphire,¹ in appearance like a throne.
