His eyes are like doves, which have been washed with milk over rivulets of waters, and which reside near plentiful streams.1
- 5:14His eyes are peaceful; they show his mildness and generosity. A number of Old Testament rituals involved ‘living waters,’ i.e. running waters, similar to this verse. +The eyes of Christ show his mercifulness and love. He is pure; so pure that he is not merely like a dove, but like a dove washed with milk over pure running waters.(Conte)
