8160. 'And the children of Israel lifted up their eyes' means the understanding part of the mind, and thought. This is clear from the meaning of 'the eyes' as the understanding part of the mind, dealt with in 2701, 3820, 4403-4421, 4523-4534, so that 'lifting up the eyes' is insight, perception, and thought, 2789, 2829, 3198, 3202, 4083, 4086, 4339.
