A description of Christ by his graces His arms are rods of gold The imagery of "arms" in this context symbolizes strength and protection. In Hebrew, the word for "arms" can also imply power and might. Gold, a precious metal, signifies purity, value, and incorruptibility. The metaphor of "rods of gold" suggests not only the physical strength of the beloved but also his moral and spiritual purity. In a broader biblical context, gold often represents divine nature and kingship, pointing to the beloved's noble character and possibly alluding to Christ's divine nature in Christian typology. set with beryl His body is an ivory panel bedecked with sapphires Beryl.--Heb. tarshish; LXX. ??????. Possibly "stones of Tarshish," and if so, either chrysolite or topaz, both said to have been first found in Tartessus, an ancient city of Spain, between the two mouths of the B?tis (Guadalquiver). Mentioned as one of the precious stones in the breastplate of the High Priest (Exodus 28:20; Exodus 39:13). The LXX. adopt the various renderings ????????? =?, ??????, ????? ????????, or, as here, keep the original word. Bright ivory.--Literally, a work of ivory, i.e., a chef-d'?uvre in ivory. Sapphires.--It is doubtful whether the sapphire of Scripture is the stone so called now, or the lapis-lazuli.

The comparison in the text either alludes to the blue veins showing through the white skin or to the colour of some portion of dress. . . .
