Thematic Bible: His personal appearance figuratively described


Thematic Bible




You are the most handsome of Adam's descendants; grace has anointed your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.

His mouth is sweetness, and all of him is desirable. This is my beloved, this is my friend, young women of Jerusalem!

Just as many were astonished at you so was he marred in his appearance, more than any human, and his form beyond that of human semblance

For he grew up before him like a tender plant, and like a root out of a dry ground; he had no form and he had no majesty that we should look at him, and there is no attractiveness that we should desire him.



The person sitting there looked like jasper and carnelian, and there was a rainbow around the throne that looked like an emerald.
