Ezekiel 1:27

the colour of amber the glance (lit. eye). See Ezekiel 1:4.

fire round about within it This is the natural sense, but "round about" and "within it" seem to contradict one another. The rendering "fire that is enclosed round about," and therefore brighter by contrast with what surrounds it (Hitz.), expresses a thought more ingenious than probable, and assumes an unlikely construction. The clause is wanting in LXX.

it had brightness round about Rather: and a brightness round about him, viz. him who sat on the throne (Ezekiel 1:28).
