'Eyes' in the Bible

(The Bridegroom)“Behold, how beautiful you are, my darling,Behold, how beautiful you are!Your eyes are dove’s eyes.”

(The Bridegroom)“How fair and beautiful you are, my darling,How very beautiful!Your eyes behind your veil are like those of a dove;Your hair is like [the shimmering black fleece of] a flock of [Arabian] goatsThat have descended from Mount Gilead [beyond the Jordan].

“You have ravished my heart and given me courage, my sister, my [promised] bride;You have ravished my heart and given me courage with a single glance of your eyes,With one jewel of your necklace.

“His eyes are like dovesBeside streams of water,Bathed in milkAnd reposed in their setting.

“Turn your [flashing] eyes away from me,For they have confused and overcome me;Your hair is like [the shimmering black fleece of] a flock of [Arabian] goatsThat have descended from Mount Gilead.

“Your neck is like a tower of ivory,Your eyes the [sparkling] pools of HeshbonBy the gate of Bath-rabbim.Your nose is like the tower of LebanonWhich looks toward Damascus.

(The Shulammite Bride)“I was a wall, and my breasts were like the towers.Then I became in the king’s eyesAs one [to be respected and allowed] to find peace.
