From the white brilliance proceed all those mercies and all those benefits which are found in the world, so that through them it may be well for the Israelites.
And then all those three colors are made white, so that He may have pity upon them.
And those colors are mingled together mutually, and mutually do they adhere unto each other. Each one affecteth with its color that which is next unto it.
Excepting the white brilliance wherein all are comprehended when there is need, for this enshroudeth them all.
So therefore no man can convert all the inferior colors—the black, red, and yellow—into the white brilliance.
For only with this glance (of Macroprosopus) are they all united and transformed into the white brilliance.
His eyelashes (i.e., those of Microprosopus, for to the eye of Macroprosopus neither eyebrows nor eyelashes are attributed) are not found, when (his eyes) desire to behold the colors; seeing that his eyelashes disclose the place (of sight) for beholding all the colors.
And if they disclose not the place (of vision) the (eyes) cannot see nor consider.[859]
But the eyelashes do not remain nor sleep, save in that only perfect hour, but they are opened and closed, and again closed and opened, according to that Open Eye (of Macroprosopus) which is above them.
And therefore is it written, Ezek. i. 14, “And the living creatures rush forth and return.”
