John describes Jesus’ appearance following a wasf form, listing off His features from white head to face to feet and back to face
1. Head and hair
2. Eyes
3. Feet
4. Voice
5. Hand
6. Mouth
7. Face
That list probably has some correlation with the days of creation: White hair is light on the head; eyes are like stars in the firmament; feet rest on the ground that is the footstool; the voice is the voice by which He rules; etc. In any case, both the style and the specific order come from Song of Songs 5:10-16. The Bride describes her lover’s beauty in this order:
1. Head and hair
2. Eyes
3. Cheeks
4. Lips
5. Hands
6. Abdomen
7. Legs
8. Mouth
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
