39 Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.

4086. 'And he said, Lift up now your eyes' means observation from what was His own. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the eyes' as thinking and directing one's attention, dealt with in 2789, 2829, and so as observing. The fact that in this case such observation was made from what was His own is evident from the use of the words 'lift up your eyes and see', as well as from the train of thought.
