His legs; the instruments of local motion, and the supporters of the body. As pillars of marble; white, and straight, and well shaped, and strong; which may note the firmness and stability of Christ's kingdom in spite of all opposition. Set upon sockets of fine gold; 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, Revelation 1:15; or, as others, for his golden shoes, wherewith they were covered or adorned, as the spouse is commended from her shoes, Song of Solomon 7:1. His countenance, Heb. his aspect or appearance; his form or person, as this Hebrew word is elsewhere used. As Lebanon, in respect of its cedars, as the next words explain it, to wit, tall, and upright, and stately, and withal pleasant to the eye.
