And this pigeon standing amid ""the torrents of water,"" or the foam of a waterfall, would be a blue centre with a bright space like the iris of the eye, surrounded by the white. Sgs 1:15; Sgs 4:1; Hbr 4:13"
fitly set   Heb. sitting in fulness, that is, fitly placed, and set as a precious stone in the foil of a ring.
