Comeliness, Comely
Comeliness, Comely
kumli-nes, kumli: Cognate with becoming, namely, what is suitable, graceful, handsome. The servant of Yahweh in Isa 53:2 is without comeliness (hadhar, honor), i.e. there is in his appearance nothing attractive, while he is bowed beneath man’s sin. Praise is comely (na’wah, f. of na’weh; Psa 33:1; Psa 147:1), i.e. suitable or befitting for the righteous, and, therefore, an honor and glory; uncomely parts, aschemona (1Co 12:23), namely, less honorable. See also 1Sa 16:18, a comely person; Son 6:4, comely as Jerusalem. etc.
