AMPLIFIED 2015 | Deuteronomy 32:10 "He found him in a desert land, In the howling wasteland of a wilderness; He kept circling him, He took care of him, He protected him as the apple of His eye. |
Bible Question: I don't get what the "pupil of His eye" is so significant? I'm designing a bulletin board for school, and I want it to say, "Covenant Academy is the Apple of God's Eye", but would like to explain it. |
Bible Answer: He found him in a desolate land, he protected him like the pupil[10] of his eye. Deuteronomy 32:10 New English Translation [10 translator's note] "pupil". 'Heb "the little man." The term /ovya! means literally "little man," perhaps because when one looks into another's eyes he sees himself reflected there in miniature.' (www.netbible.com) 32:10 as the apple of His eye (NKJV). 'Lit. "the little man of His eye," i.e., the pupil. Just as the pupil of the eye is essential for vision and, therefore, closely protected, especially in a howling wind, so God closely protected Israel. Compare Ps. 17:8; Prov. 7:2).' (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) Psalm 17:8 (New English Translation) Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye![17] Hide me in the shadow of your wings! [17 text-critical note] Heb "Protect me like the pupil, a daughter of an eye." (www.netbible.com) Psalm 17:8 'the apple of Your eye' (NKJV). 'An expression meaning the pupil of the human eye. As a person protects that vital organ of vision, so God protects His people.' (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) |
