Ezekiel 1:13

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: [the fire] went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning." — Ezekiel 1:13 (ASV)

Lamps - “like the appearance of” flames. Omit the “and” before “like.” The “bright flames” resembled “coals of fire.”

It went up - that is, “fire went up.”
