Where it appears

Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 7:9 כַּעֲמַ֣ר like wool

    As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.

    Here: 'Like wool'. Washed wool was the whitest thing in a shepherd's world. Snow and wool appear together for whiteness in Isa 1:18.
