5684. 'And he lifted up his eyes' means reflection. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the eyes' as thought and attention, dealt with in 2789, 2829, 4339, and also observation, 4086, and so reflection; for reflecting is turning one's attention, which is the sight of one's understanding, to observe whether something is true, and having done this to observe that it is indeed so.
