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.
