Thematic Bible: Dimness of vision, in


Thematic Bible



When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could not see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.”

And he answered, “Here I am.”

Now his eyesight was poor because of old age; he could hardly see. Joseph brought them to him, and he kissed and embraced them.

One day Eli, whose eyesight was failing, was lying in his room.

At that time Eli was 98 years old, and his gaze was fixed because he couldn’t see.

on the day when the guardians of the house tremble,
and the strong men stoop,
the women who grind cease because they are few,
and the ones who watch through the windows see dimly,
