Eyelid
Eyelid
lid: Eyes and eyelids in Hebrew are sometimes used synonymously, as in the parallelism of Pro 4:25 (compare Pro 6:4; Pro 30:13):
Let thine eyes look right on,
And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
(Compare Job 41:18; Psa 11:4; Jer 9:18.) The alluring power of the wanton woman is conceived of as centered in her eyes (Pro 6:25; Isa 3:16): Neither let her take thee with her eyelids. Painting the eyelids was resorted to to intensify the beauty, antimony (which see) being used for darkening the lashes (2Ki 9:30; Jer 4:30; Eze 23:40).
