耶西是伯利恒的居民，是大卫的父亲，因此是耶稣血统的一部分。瑞典博格对他个人的评价不多，只在一段简短的文字中指出，作为大卫的父亲，他代表着大卫。大卫代表神圣的真理，或者说向我们表达主爱的观念。

(参考: 详解启示录310)

Hands in the Bible represent power, the force with which things are put into action. To be specific, they represent the power of spiritual good -- which is the love of others and serving others -- expressed through spiritual truth -- which is an understanding and knowledge of what it is to love and serve others. This is in contrast to the feet, which represent power on the natural level, and a “rod,” which represents the power of the hand passed down into external or natural ideas. In a few cases in the Bible, hands also represent communication and a drawing together. This is true when people lift their hands to heaven or to Jehovah, and also when the Lord touches children or touches people to heal them.
