Song of Solomon5:15

15 His legs are as pillars of marble , set upon sockets of fine gold : his countenance is as Lebanon , excellent as the cedars.

The instruments of local motion, and the supporters of the body.

White, and streight, and well shaped, and strong. Which may note the firmness and stability of Christs Kingdom in spight of all opposition.

Which add both beauty and strength to them. These may note his Feet compared to Gold, either for their great price and worth, or for their singular brightness, for which they are compared to fine-brass, Rev. 1. 15. or, as others, for his golden shoes wherewith they were covered or adorned, as the Spouse is commended from her shoes, Cant. 7. 1.

Heb. his aspect or appearance, his form or Person, as this Hebrew word is elsewhere used.

In respect of its Cedars, as the next words explain it, to wit, tall, and upright, and stately, and withal pleasant to the Eye.
