Where it appears

Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 7:9 כִּתְלַ֣ג like snow

    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 snow'. Snow is the standard image of dazzling, flawless white (compare Isa 1:18; Ps 51:7).
