# a likeness like the appearance of a man
|

|

The abstract nouns "likeness" and "appearance" can be translated with verbal phrases. If you need to tell who this is, you should probably identify him as Yahweh ([Ezekiel 1:3](../01/03.md)). Alternate translation: "something that looked similar to what appeared to be a man" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
