His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
His body also was like the beryl - literally, Tarshish, in Spain. The beryl, identical with the chrysolite or topaz, was imported into the East from Tarshish, and therefore is called 'the Tarshish stone.'
His face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like ... to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. The description seems too glorious to apply to any except the uncreated Angel of the Covenant, the Divine Son of God.
