Thus it answers to "burnished (flashing, or glowing) brass," Ezekiel 1:7; Revelation 10:1, "His feet as pillars of fire." Translate, "Glowing brass, as if they had been made fiery (red-hot) in a furnace." The feet of the priests were bare in ministering in the sanctuary. So our great High Priest here.
voice as . . . many waters— (Ezekiel 43:2); in Daniel 10:6, it is "like the voice of a multitude." As the Bridegroom's voice, so the bride's, Revelation 14:2; Revelation 19:6; Ezekiel 1:24, the cherubim, or redeemed creation. His voice, however, is here regarded in its terribleness to His foes. Contrast Song of Solomon 2:8; Song of Solomon 5:2, with which compare Revelation 3:20.
