About “Eyes” in Hebrew

Eyes hold special significance in Jewish tradition—the 'evil eye' (ayin hara) is a widespread belief in the power of envious gazes, countered by hamsa amulets and the color blue. The Torah speaks of God's eyes watching over the Land of Israel, and the blessing of the kohanim (priests) asks God to 'lift His eyes' upon the people. Seeing and witnessing are central to Jewish memory and testimony.

Example

הָעֵינַיִם הֵן חַלּוֹן הַנְּשָׁמָה.

Daniel 4:31דניאל 4:31

ולקצת יומיא אנה נבוכדנצר עיני לשמיא נטלת ומנדעי עלי יתוב (ולעליא) [ולעלאה] ברכת ולחי עלמא שבחת והדרת די שלטנה שלטן עלם ומלכותה עם דר ודר

Daniel 7:8דניאל 7:8

משתכל הוית בקרניא ואלו קרן אחרי זעירה סלקת (ביניהון) [ביניהן] ותלת מן קרניא קדמיתא (אתעקרו) [אתעקרה] מן [קדמה] (קדמיה) ואלו עינין כעיני אנשא בקרנא דא ופם ממלל רברבן

While I was gazing upon these horns, a new little horn sprouted up among them; three of the older horns were uprooted to make room for it. There were eyes in this horn like those of a human, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.

Daniel 7:20דניאל 7:20

ועל קרניא עשר די בראשה ואחרי די סלקת (ונפלו) [ונפלה] מן [קדמה] (קדמיה) תלת וקרנא דכן ועינין לה ופם ממלל רברבן וחזוה רב מן חברתה

And of the ten horns on its head; and of the new one that sprouted, to make room for which three fell—the horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, and which was more conspicuous than its fellows.
