In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: An old word for beauty and a pleasing, dignified look. Interpretation: The tradition reads Isaiah 53 as describing a servant with no outward beauty, and understands the passage as pointing to Israel's suffering or to the righteous who are despised. In the primary lessons: in old stories a person's comeliness, their fair face and healthy look, is praised.
