Ruddy

When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.

“My beloved is dazzling and ruddy,

Outstanding among ten thousand.

Her consecrated ones were purer than snow,
They were whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than corals,

lapis lazuli.

It was at this time that Moses was born; and he was lovely in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father’s home.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.

And the lord

When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord

I have exalted one chosen from the people.

servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
