3202. 'Rebekah lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac' means a reciprocal directing by the affection for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the eyes and seeing' as directing the attention, dealt with above in 3198, here a reciprocal directing because it has been said already of Isaac that he 'lifted up his eyes and saw', and now here it is said of Rebekah that she 'lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac'; and from the representation of 'Rebekah' as the affection for truth, often dealt with already.

3529. 'And I shall be in his eyes as one who misleads' means rejection because of being, as it seems, contrary to order. This is clear from the meaning of 'being in his eyes' as a discernment of what it is really like, for 'the eye' means the discernment belonging to internal sight, 212, 2701, 2789, 2829, 3198, 3202, and from the meaning of 'one who misleads' or a misleader, as contrary to order, in this case seemingly contrary - all misleading being nothing else. And this would lead to rejection. But what is meant by being, as it seems, contrary to order will be evident below.
