Song of Solomon 5:16

16His hands are smoothed gold, full of hyacinths. His abdomen is ivory, accented with sapphires.
5:16The word ‘tornatiles’ refers to gold that has been worked, to smooth and shape it. The brides description of him is increasingly metaphorical, because as she considers what she knows about his exterior, she begins to understand his inner self increasingly well. +Such is the way with the Church and the Christ. The Church considers all she knows about Christ and so attains to even further insights into His Divine and human natures.(Conte)
