eye
One of two parts of the body of humans and animals that is used to see things, after which the observed information is stored and processed in the mind; sparkling when the body is healthy and strong, but dim when weak or sick; the eyes also play a significant role in determining whether a person is considered beautiful or not; eyes can reflect both an attitude of compassion and a sentiment of malice; high eyes are associated with pride, whereas lowly eyes are connected with humility; a good eye is associated with generosity, whereas an evil eye denotes stinginess; winking the eye is associated with underhanded practices
ExamplesEzra 5:5 But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they did not stop them until the report could reach Darius, and then the decree concerning it could be sent back.
Daniel 4:34 “But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.
Daniel 7:8 “While I was thinking about the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the previous horns were plucked out before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like human eyes, and a mouth uttering great boasts.
