The purpose of this study is to come to an understanding of the human being in the Old Testament by analyzing the biblical texts which refer to human beauty. In the Hebrew thinking, a human being is understood as a whole, which implies both soul and body. The description of physical beauty in the Old Testament shows the importance of the nature of a person as a being created in the image of God. Research into the texts that use the Hebrew words like yafah, tob and barii, meaning beautiful, handsome and good lets us know the meaning and function of human beauty in the Old Testament. The beauty mentioned in the Old Testament is more external and physical than internal and spiritual. It is used as an important standard with which to value a person and acts as a motivational power or a crucial precondition of major events. The beautiful appearance of a man is, in general, closely connected to political power, as in the case of David and Absalom. On the other hand, the beautiful appearance of a woman tends to motivate a rape or sexual violation, as in the case of Bathsheba and Tamar. The physical beauty may also be used to save one`s life, either individual or national, and that is a messianic role, as in the case of Moses and Esther. The beauty referenced in the Old Testament is a means for human to take part in the salvation history of God.
