Ḥazon (Revelation) 4
4
1After this I looked and saw a door having been opened in the heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here and I shall show you what has to take place after this.”
2And immediately I came to be in the Spirit and saw a throne set in the heaven, and One sat on the throne.
3And He who sat there was like a jasper and a ruby stone in appearance. And there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.
4And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white robes. And they had crowns of gold on their heads.
5And out of the throne came lightnings, and thunders, and voices. And seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim.
6And before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and in back.
7And the first living creature was like a lion,#Ezek. 1:10 and the second living creature like a calf,#Ezek. 1:10 and the third living creature had a face like a man,#Ezek. 1:10 and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.#Ezek. 1:10
8And the four living creatures, each having six wings,#Isa. 6:2 were covered with eyes around and within. And they do not cease, day or night, saying, “Set-apart, set-apart, set-apart, יהוה Ěl Shaddai,#Isa. 6:3 who was, and who is, and who is coming!”
9And when the living creatures give esteem and respect and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
10the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and bow before Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11“You are worthy, O יהוה, to receive esteem and respect and power,#1Ch. 29:11 for You have created all, and because of Your desire they are, and were created.”

Revelation 4
4
1After this I saw a door that had been opened in#4:1. Or “into.” heaven. The voice that I'd heard before, the one that sounded like a trumpet, told me, “Come up here, and I will show you what will happen next.”
2Immediately I was filled by the Spirit and saw a throne set up in heaven, with someone sitting on the throne. 3The one sitting there shone like jewels, like jasper and carnelian, and there was a rainbow that circled the throne, shining like an emerald. 4Around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and twenty-four elders were sitting on these thrones, dressed in white and wearing golden crowns on their heads. 5From the throne lightning flashed and thunder roared. Seven torches blazed in front of the throne—these are the seven Spirits of God. 6Stretching out in front of the throne was a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center and all around the throne were four living creatures covered in eyes, both front and back. 7The first creature looked like a lion, the second like a young bull, the third had a human face, and the fourth looked like a flying eagle. 8The four living creatures each had six wings also covered with eyes. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.”
9Whenever the living creatures glorify, honor, and thank the one that sits on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him that sits on the throne. They will worship the one who lives for ever and ever, and throw down their crowns before the throne. They say, 11“Our Lord and our God, you are worthy to be given glory, and honor, and authority, for you created everything. Your will brought Creation into existence.”
