OET (OET-LV) And_likeness_of the_living_creatures their_appearance like_coals_of fire burning like_appearance_of the_torches it was_moving_about between the_living_creatures and_bright to_the_fire and_from the_fire lightning was_coming_out.
OET (OET-RV) The living creatures resembled burning coals or torches. Bright fire also moved around among the creatures, and there were flashes of lightning.
Connecting Statement:
Ezekiel continues to describe his vision.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
(Occurrence 0) As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals
(Some words not found in UHB: and,likeness_of the,living_creatures their=appearance like,coals_of burning fire like,appearance_of the,torches she/it moving_to_and_fro between the,living_creatures and,bright to_the,fire and=from the,fire issued lightning )
Here, likeness means that what Ezekiel saw looked like these things. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the words likeness and appearance, you can express the same ideas with verbal forms. Alternate translation: “As for what the living creatures looked like, they were similar to burning coals”
(Occurrence 0) there were flashes of lightning
(Some words not found in UHB: and,likeness_of the,living_creatures their=appearance like,coals_of burning fire like,appearance_of the,torches she/it moving_to_and_fro between the,living_creatures and,bright to_the,fire and=from the,fire issued lightning )
Alternate translation: “lightning came out from the fire.”
1:4-28 The language of this opening vision is that of theophany, a physical manifestation of God (see study note on Deut 1:33). It was difficult for Ezekiel to describe what he saw, as is evident from his frequent use of “looked like,” “something like,” and “seemed.” The overall effect is nonetheless clear and menacing; verbs of motion are combined with symbols of judgment to warn that God’s judgment will inevitably fall upon rebellious Jerusalem.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
