Now we have already spoken of the passage, Isa. xxxiii. 20, “Thine eye shall see Jerusalem quiet, even Thy habitation.”
Also it is written, Deut. ii. 12, “The eyes of Tetragrammaton thy God are ever thereon in the beginning of the year,” etc.
For so Jerusalem requireth it, since it is written, Isa. i. 21, “TzDQ, Tzedeq, Justice abideth in Her.”
And therefore (is it called) Jerusalem, and not Zion. For it is written, Isa. i. 26: “Zion is redeemed in MShPT, Meshephat, Judgment, etc.,” which are unmixed mercies.
Thine eye: (therefore) is it written OINK, Ayinakh (in the singular number). Assuredly it is the eye of the Most Holy Ancient One, the Most Concealed of All (which is here referred to).
Now it is said, “The eyes of Tetragrammaton thy God are thereon”; in good, that is to say, and in evil; according as either the red color or the yellow is required.
But only with the glance (of Macroprosopus) are all things converted and cleansed into the white brilliance.
The eyelids (of Microprosopus) are not found when (His eyes) desire to behold the colors. But here (it is said), “Thine eyes shall behold Jerusalem.” Entirely for good, entirely in mercy.
As it is written, Isa. liv. 7, “And with great mercies will I gather thee.”
The eyes of Tetragrammaton thy God are ever thereon from the beginning of the year. Here the word “MRShITh, Merashith, from the beginning,” is written defectively without A, for it is not written RAShITh with the A.
