4746. 'And they lifted up their eyes and saw' means further thought. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the eyes and seeing' as directing one's attention and giving thought to something, that is, thinking attentively, dealt with in 2789, 2829, 3198, 3202, 4339. In this case further thought is meant, as is evident from the sequence of ideas.
