But on the day of the Sabbath, at the time of the afternoon prayers, the forehead of the Most Holy Ancient One is uncovered, so that the judgments may not be aroused. And all the judgments are subjected; and although they be there, yet are they not called forth. (Otherwise, and they are appeased.) From this forehead depend twenty-four tribunals, for all those who are shameless in their deeds. And it is written, Ps. lxxiii. 11: “And they have said, ‘How can El know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?’ ” But truly (the tribunals) are only twenty; wherefore are four added? Assuredly, in respect of the punishments of the inferior tribunals which depend from the Supernals. Therefore there remain twenty.(858) And therefore unto none do they adjudge capital punishment until he shall have fulfilled and reached the age of twenty years, in respect of these twenty tribunals. But in our doctrine regarding our Arcana have we taught that the books which are contained in the Law refer back unto these twenty-four. Chapter XIV: Concerning the Eyes of Microprosopus The Eyes of the Head (of Microprosopus) are those eyes from which sinners cannot guard themselves; the eyes which sleep, and yet which sleep not. And therefore are they called “Eyes like unto doves, KIVNIM, _Ke-Ionim_.” What is IVNIM, _Ionim_? Surely it is said, Lev. xxv. 17, “Ye shall not deceive any man his neighbor.” And therefore is it written, Ps. xciv. 7, “IH, _Yah_, shall not behold.” And shortly after verse 9, “He that planteth the ear, shall He not hear? He that formeth the eye, shall He not see?” The part which is above the eyes (the eyebrows) consisteth of the hairs, which are distributed in certain proportions. From those hairs depend 1,700 Lords of Inspection for striving in battles. And then all their emissaries arise and unclose the eyes. In the skin which is above the eyes (the eyelids) are the eyelashes, and thereunto adhere thousand thousands Lords of Shields. And these be called the covering of the eyes. And all those which are called (under the classification of) the eyes of IHVH, Tetragrammaton, are not unclosed, nor awake, save in that time when these coverings of the eyelashes be separated from each other; namely, the lower from the upper (eyelashes). And when the lower eyelashes are separated from the upper, and disclose the abode of vision, then are the eyes opened in the same manner as when one awaketh from his sleep. Then are the eyes rolled around, and (Microprosopus) looketh back upon the open eye (of Macroprosopus), and they are bathed in its white brilliance. And when they are thus whitened, the Lords of the Judgments are turned aside from the Israelites. And therefore it is written, Ps. xliv. 24: “Awake: wherefore sleepest thou, O Tetragrammaton? Make haste,” etc. Four colors appear in those eyes; from which shine the four coverings of the phylacteries, which shine through the emanations of the Brain.
