This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Having the glory of God - not merely the Shekinah-cloud, but God Himself as her glory dwelling in the midst of her. Compare the type, the earthly Jerusalem in the millennium (Zec 2:5; compare Rev 21:23, below).
her light - Greek, “light-giver”: properly applied to the heavenly luminaries which diffuse light. Compare Note, see on Phi 2:15, the only other passage where it occurs. The “and” before “her light’ is omitted in A, B, and Vulgate.
even like - Greek, “as it were.”
jasper - representing watery crystalline brightness.
