ezekiel 1:7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

ezekiel 1:7 And their legs were straight and their feet were like a calf's hoof, and they gleamed like burnished bronze.

7. straight feet--that is, straight legs. Not protruding in any part as the legs of an ox, but straight like a man's [GROTIUS]. Or, like solid pillars; not bending, as man's, at the knee. They glided along, rather than walked. Their movements were all sure, right, and without effort [KITTO, Cyclopedia].
sole . . . calf's foot--HENDERSON hence supposes that "straight feet" implies that they did not project horizontally like men's feet, but vertically as calves' feet. The solid firmness of the round foot of a calf seems to be the point of comparison.
colour--the glittering appearance, indicating God's purity.

ezekiel 1:7 And their legs were straight and their feet were like a calf's hoof, and they gleamed like burnished bronze.
