the Eyes of Microprosopus

The Eyes of the Head (of Microprosopus) are those eyes from which sinners
cannot guard themselves; the eyes which sleep, and yet which sleep not.

And therefore are they called "Eyes like unto doves, KIVNIM, _Ke-Ionim_."
What is IVNIM, _Ionim_? Surely it is said, Lev. xxv. 17, "Ye shall not
deceive any man his neighbor."

And therefore is it written, Ps. xciv. 7, "IH, _Yah_, shall not behold."
And shortly after verse 9, "He that planteth the ear, shall He not hear?
He that formeth the eye, shall He not see?"

The part which is above the eyes (the eyebrows) consisteth of the hairs,
which are distributed in certain proportions.

From those hairs depend 1,700 Lords of Inspection for striving in battles.
And then all their emissaries arise and unclose the eyes.

In the skin which is above the eyes (the eyelids) are the eyelashes, and
thereunto adhere thousand thousands Lords of Shields.

And these be called the covering of the eyes. And all those which are
called (under the classification of) the eyes of IHVH, Tetragrammaton, are
not unclosed, nor awake, save in that time when these coverings of the
eyelashes be separated from each other; namely, the lower from the upper
(eyelashes).

And when the lower eyelashes are separated from the upper, and disclose
the abode of vision, then are the eyes opened in the same manner as when
one awaketh from his sleep.

Then are the eyes rolled around, and (Microprosopus) looketh back upon the
open eye (of Macroprosopus), and they are bathed in its white brilliance.

And when they are thus whitened, the Lords of the Judgments are turned
aside from the Israelites. And therefore it is written, Ps. xliv. 24:
"Awake: wherefore sleepest thou, O Tetragrammaton? Make haste," etc.

Four colors appear in those eyes; from which shine the four coverings of
the phylacteries, which shine through the emanations of the Brain.

Seven, which are called the eyes of Tetragrammaton, and the inspection,
proceed from the black color of the eyes; as we have said.

As it is written, Zech. iii. 9, "Upon one stone seven eyes." And these
colors flame forth on this side.

From the red go forth others, the Lords of Examination for Judgment.

And these are called: "The eyes of Tetragrammaton going forth throughout
the whole earth."

Where it is said (in the feminine gender) "MSHVTTVTH, _Meshotetoth_, going
forth," and not "MSHVTTIM, _Meshotetim_," in the masculine, because
