Eye (Heb. zayin, “fountain”, “eye”; Gr. ómma, ofthalmós, etc.). 856 Literally, the organ of physical visual perception; figuratively, the faculty of mental and spiritual perception. The law of Moses determined that intentional damage to the eye should be punished by similar damage to the guilty eye: “An eye for an eye” (Ex. 21:24; Deu 19:21). In a sense, this was merciful, because inflicting greater evil than that done was forbidden. To “lift up” the eyes (Gen 13:10; 18:2; 22:13; 24:63; etc.) is to look carefully. Figuratively, the psalmist prayed to God to open his eyes to understand his revealed will (Psa 119:18). The “eye” also represents disposition or character, as in Psa 18:27; 131:1; Pro 22:9; 2Pe 2:14 The many eyes of Ezekiel’s living creatures (Eze 1:18; 10:12; Rev. 4:6) may figuratively represent God’s omniscience. See apple of the eye.

(Heb., †™ayin, Gr. ophthalmos). The organ of sight, among the most esteemed members of the body. If someone hit a slave’s eye so that he was blinded, he had to free the slave (Exo 21:26). One of the cruelest customs of the pagan nations was gouging out the eyes of the defeated enemy (2Ki 25:7). Eye often refers to spiritual discernment and understanding (Psa 19:8; Eph 1:18). Other expressions speak of the eye as an indication of character (Psa 131:1; Pro 22:9; Mat 20:15).

This organ of the human body is often related in the Bible to the ability to know and discern. Satan told Eve: “God knows that in the day you eat of it, your food will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Gen 3:5). “The statute of the Lord is pure, enlightening the o” (Ps 19:8). Because of the extreme care with which man guards his sight, God is said to have kept his people † œas the girl from his or. From him † (Deu 32:10; Ps 17:8 ). A constant annoyance for the people of Israel is compared to a thorn in the o. of a person (†œ… they shall be a snare to you… thorns for your o.† ). To receive favorable treatment from someone is to “find favor with your o.† . Thus, “Noah found favor with the o. of Jehovah† (Gen 6:8). In terms of justice and retribution, the commandment of †œ… breakage for breakage, or. by o., tooth by tooth† (Lev 24:20; Deu 19:21).
In the way of speaking of the Hebrews, very frequently the o., as well as other organs of the human body, are presented as if they had their own personality. Thus, the or he can forgive or not (†œ… not even his o. will forgive the children† ). he or watch (“Behold the word of the Lord on them that fear him…† ). The o’s they exalt themselves or humble themselves (“Yahweh, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not lifted up”; “…God will save the humble from o.† ).
very old times it was thought that the o. they were the window of the soul, through which light entered the body. Thus, if the o. were fine, the inside of the body would be healthy. The Lord Jesus used this way of thinking as a metaphor when He spoke of seeking “treasures in the heavens,” indicating that if a person’s interest was focused on them, all the rest of his personality would be healthy (“For where your treasure is , your heart will also be there. The lamp of the body is the o., so if your o. is good, your whole body will be full of light† ). He also spoke metaphorically of taking † œthe beam † out of your o. rather than trying to get †œthe straw† out of the o. alien (Mat 7:4-5), speaking of correcting one’s own shortcomings before criticizing those of others. The words of the Lord Jesus: “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (Mat 19:24; Mar 10:25; Luke 18:25) is a form of speak quite usual among Hebrews, using the absurd to emphasize the difficulty of something.

tip, TYPE see, sit,
vet, Used symbolically of God’s omnipresence: “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere” (Prov. 15:3). “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous” (Ps. 34:15; 1 Pet. 3:12; cf. 2 Chr. 16:9; Zech. 4:10). His eyes are on the wicked, and his eye will not forgive, nor will he have mercy on the day of judgment (Ez. 5:11). The eye is also used symbolically of the organ that transmits light to the soul. If the eye is single (meaning there is only one object, the glory of God, before the soul), the whole body is full of light; but if the eye is bad, having a scattering of objects (as when the eye sees double), the whole body will be full of darkness. And if the light (even if it is true light) becomes darkness, this darkness is really black (cf. Mt. 6:22, 23). A Christian in this state may be doing those very things that he condemns in others. The Christian is exhorted not to serve the eye (Eph. 6: 6), which means that he must act diligently and cheerfully in fulfilling his obligations, and not because he fears vigilance.

The eye is an organ of the body that, together with the ear, represents the totality of the human being (Mt 3,14; Mc 8,18). The pupil is the apple of the eye, which is kept as a precious jewel (Sal 17,8; Prov 7). When Jesus Christ causes one to “open his eyes”, he makes him recover his sight (Mt 9,30; Jn 9,10.14); when he tells his disciples to “open their eyes wide”, he wants them to be cautious and not be influenced by the Pharisees (Mt 16,6; Mk 8,15), not to be carried away by greed (Lk 12,15) , and that they recognize someone (Lk 24,31); when he tells them to “lift up their eyes”, he means to be very attentive to things that may happen (Mt 17,8; Lk 16,23; Jn 4,35; 6,5). The eyes are identified with the spirit and intelligence capable of capturing and understanding a doctrine (Mk 8,18; Lk 19,42). The eye is also the lamp of the body (Mt 6,22; Lk 11,34), which, if it allows the divine light to pass through, prevents the fall (Mt 15,14) and allows one to admire the wonders of the Lord (Mt 21,42; Mark 12,11). The eye, therefore, acquires an ethical and religious meaning, and thus we speak of the good eye (Lk 11,34), the bad eye (Mt 20,15) and the envious eye (Mk 7,22). If the eye is bad and the occasion of sin, it is better to take it out rather than fall into sin and be condemned (Mt 5,9; 18,9; Mk 9,47). The evangelical miracles in which the blind see, apart from manifesting the compassion and divine power of Jesus Christ, symbolize the acceptance of the Good News (Mt 9,29-30; Mc 8,18.23.25; Jn 9). The eyes and ears of those who know how to see and hear the actions and words of Jesus Christ are declared blessed and happy (Mt 13,16; Lk 10,23). -> scandalous words.

organ of vision; it is a marvelous automatically controlled “camera” that transmits impulses to the brain, where the object in focus on the retina of the eye is translated into vision. Both the Hebrew terms `a·yin and the Greek o·fthal·mos are used both literally and figuratively. The Hebrew word can also be used to refer to a †œfountain† or †˜spring†™. (Ge 24:13; Ex 15:27) The fact that humans have two eyes gives them stereoscopic vision. Vision loss is a serious handicap, because sight is probably the most important avenue of communication with the mind.
The eye is one of the most beautiful parts of the body. (Ca 1:15; 4:9; 7:4) Blindness and eye diseases were so disfiguring that no one suffering from them could be a priest under the Law covenant.—Le 21:18, 20. Israel’s law, if someone gouged out his slave’s eye, he had to let him go free. (Ex 21:26) In order to humiliate and weaken their enemies, some peoples…
