Colors Eyes

85. As for the secret of the eyes, they may be found in the secret of the letter Samech. ONE MUST DISCERN the color that encircles the eyes from the outside, and the way the eye rests in its fullness, and that it is not immersed deeply in its socket. Such a one is not deceptive, and has not a trace of fraudulence.

85. בְּרָזָא דְּעַיְינִין, בְּרָזָא דְּאָת ס', בְּהַהוּא גַּוְונָא דְּסַחֲרָא לְבַר, וּכְמָה דְּיָתְבָא עֵינָא, דְּיָתְבָא עַל שְׁלִימוּ, דְּלָא שְׁקִיעַ, הַאי לָאו רַמָּאָה הִיא, וְרָחִיק מֵרַמָּאוּתָא, דְּלָא אִית בֵּיהּ כְּלָל.

Colors Dots Eyes Torah White

86. There are four colors to be found in the eyes, A) There is the white outside, that circles the eye, common to every person. THAT IS, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THIS ASPECT FROM PERSON TO PERSON. B) Enclosed within it is a black color that encircles, and the black and white merge together, WHICH ALLUDES TO CHESED AND GVURAH, WHICH INCLUDE ONE WITH THE OTHER. C) Within this is a greenish color, ALLUDING TO TIFERET, included in the black. D) The innermost is the pupil of the eye, which is a black dot. THIS ALLUDES TO MALCHUT. This is a person who is always laughing and full of cheer. He has good intentions, but his intentions are never accomplished, since they slip from his mind. He is occupied with worldly matters, but when occupied with spiritual matters, he will succeed. Therefore, he should be encouraged to occupy himself with the Torah, for he will succeed in it.

86. גַּוְונֵי דְּעַיְינִין אִינּוּן ד'. חִוָּורוּ לְבַר, דְּסַחֲרָא עֵינָא, כְּגַוְונָא דְּכָל בַּר נָשׁ. לְגוֹ מִנֵּיהּ אוּכָמָא דְּסַחֲרָא, וְאִתְכְּלִיל חִוָּורוּ וְאוּכָמוּ כַּחֲדָא. לְגוֹ מִנֵּיהּ יְרוֹקָא. וְאִתְכְּלִיל בְּאוּכָמָה. לְגוֹ מִנֵּיהּ הַהוּא בַּת עֵינָא, נְקוּדָא אוּכָמָא. דָּא אִיהוּ בַּר נָשׁ דְּחַיִיךְ תָּדִיר, וְחַדֵּי בְּחֵדוּ. וְחָשִׁיב מַחֲשָׁבִין לְטָב, וְלָא אִשְׁתְּלִימוּ אִינּוּן מַחֲשָׁבִין, בְּגִין דְּסָלִיק לוֹן מִיַּד מֵרְעוּתֵיהּ. אִשְׁתַּדַּל בְּמִילֵּי דְּעָלְמָא. וְכַד אִשְׁתַּדַּל בְּמִילֵּי דִּשְׁמַיָּא, אַצְלַח. הַאי אִצְטְרִיךְ לְאִתַּתְקְפָא בֵּיהּ לְאִשְׁתַּדְּלָא בְּאוֹרַיְיתָא, דְּהָא יִצְלַח בָּהּ.

Colors Eyebrows Eyes Hebrew Letters Light Red

87. IF his eyebrows are thick, inclining downwards, AND IF in the color of his eyes there are red lined impressions, these impressions are called "small letters of the eyes" because when these colors of the eye shine in the light, the light causes the letters to be revealed to those who judge, together with the other, small impressions. This is in the shape of the letter Samech, and is included in the letter Hei.

87. גְּבִינִי עֵינוֹי רַבְרְבִין, וְכַסְיָין לְתַתָּא. בְּאִינּוּן גַּוְונִין דְּעֵינָא אִית רְשִׁימִין סוּמָקִין דְּקִיקִין בְּאַרְכָּא. אִינּוּן רְשִׁימִין אִקְרוּן אַתְוָון זְעִירִין דְּעֵינָא. בְּגִין דְּאִינּוּן גַּוְונִין דְּעֵינָא. אִי נְהִרִין בִּנְהִירוּ, הַהוּא נְהִירוּ סָלִיק אַתְוָון לְאִתְחֲזָאָה, לְאִינוּן מָארֵי דְּמִדִּין. בְּאִינּוּן רְשִׁימִין אַחֲרָנִין דְּקִיקִין, וְהַאי אִיהוּ בְּאָת ס', וּכְלִילָא בְּאָת ה'.

Eyes White

88. Green eyes that are surrounded in white, with the green blended in the white, implies that he is a merciful man, yet he thinks always for his own benefit. The harm of others does not concern him at all.

88. עַיְינִין יְרוֹקִין דְּסַחֲרִין בְּחִוָּורוּ, וּמִתְעָרְבִין אִינּוּן יְרוֹקִין, בְּהַהוּא חִוָּורוּ. רַחֲמָנָא אִיהוּ, וְאִיהוּ חָשִׁיב תָּדִיר לְתוֹעַלְתָּיה, וְלָא חָשִׁיב לְנִזְקָא דְּאַחֲרָנִין כְּלוּם.

Colors Evil Eyes Hebrew Letters White

89. IF the black color is not noticeable in his eyes, he is greedy, but not in an evil way. But if an opportunity should arise for him to accomplish evil, he will not turn from it. He can be trustworthy when speaking of things he knows, yet not trustworthy in things he does not know. He can keep a secret as long as it is a secret, until he hears the secret at another place. Once he hears about it, he reveals everything and it is no longer a secret with him at all, because nothing he does is perfect. The eye color encircled with white and green is the secret of the letter Hei when included with the letters Zayin and Samech.

89. גַּוְונָא אוּכָמָא לָא אִתְחָזֵי בֵּיהּ. חָמִיד אִיהוּ וְלָא מִסִּטְרָא בִּישָׁא. וְאִי סַלְּקָא בִּידֵיהּ מִסִּטְרָא בִּישָׁא, לָא יֵתוּב מִנֵּיהּ. מְהֵימָנָא אִיהוּ בְּמָה דְּאִשְׁתְּמוֹדְעָא. וּבַמֶּה דְּלָא אִשְׁתְּמוֹדְעָא לָאו מְהֵימָנָא אִיהוּ. מָארֵיהּ דְּרָזִין אִיהוּ, בְּמִלָּה דְּאִיהוּ רָזָא, עַד דְּיִשְׁמַע לְהַהוּא רָזָא בְּאֲתָר אַחֲרָא. כֵּיוָן דִּשְׁמַע לֵיהּ גַּלֵּי כֹּלָּא. וְלָאו עִמֵּיהּ רָזָא כְּלָל, דְּכָל מִלּוֹי לָאו אִינּוּן בִּשְׁלִימוּ. גַּוְונֵי עֵינוֹי סָחֲרָן בְּחִוָּורוּ וּבִירוֹקָא. דָּא אִיהוּ בְּרָזָא דְּאָת ה,' וְאִתְכְּלִיל בְּאָת ז', וּבְאָת ס'.

Eyes Forehead Torah

90. IF his eyes are yellowish-green, he has madness about him, and because of this madness his mouth speaks in a bombastic manner, and he carries a self-importance about himself, and whoever attacks him, conquers him. He is not worthy of the Torah secrets, since in his heart he cannot keep silent about such secrets, AND HE REVEALS THEM TO OTHERS so that through them he can make himself seem a bigger MAN. This is the mystery of the letter Hei, which is only included in the letter Zayin, and is removed from the letter Samech. It is because he conducts himself with pride that he is far removed from the letter Samech and cannot approach it. When he speaks, he produces many wrinkles on his forehead.

90. עַיְינִין צְהִיבִין יְרוֹקִין, שִׁגְעוֹנָא אִית בֵּיהּ. וּבְגִין שִׁגְעוֹנֵיהּ אִיהוּ פּוּם מְמַלֵּל רַבְרְבָן, וְעָבֵיד גַּרְמֵיהּ כְּבַר נָשׁ רַב, בְּרַבְרְבָנוּ. וּמַאן דְּאִתְתָּקַּף בֵּיהּ, נֶצַח לֵיהּ. לָא אִתְחָזֵי לְרָזִין דְּאוֹרַיְיתָא, דְּהָא לָא שָׁכִיךְ בְּלִבֵּיהּ, בְּאִינּוּן רָזִין. דְּעָבֵיד גַּרְמֵיהּ רַב בְּהוּ. דָּא אִיהוּ בְּרָזָא דְּאָת ה', וְאִתְכְּלִיל בְּאָת ז' בִּלְחוֹדוֹי, וְאִתְרְחַק מֵאָת ס'. וּבְגִין דְּאִיהוּ עָבֵד גַּרְמֵיהּ בְּרַבְרְבָנוּ, אִתְרְחַק מִנֵּיהּ מֵאָת ס' וְלָא אִתְקְרִיב בַּהֲדֵיהּ. דָּא כַּד אִיהוּ מַלִּיל, עָבֵיד קְמִיטִין סַגִּיאִין בְּמִצְחֵיהּ.

Eyes Love White

91. One with white eyes, encircled lightly with green, has an angry disposition, but for the most part, he is kind-hearted. However, when he is full of anger he has no love in him whatsoever, and becomes cruel. He cannot be trusted with a secret. This belongs to the mystery of the letter Hei, which is included in the letter Samech.

91. עַיְינִין חִוָּורִן, דְּסַחֲרָן זְעֵיר בִּירוֹקָא, מָארֵיהּ דְּרוּגְזָא, וְרַחֲמָנָא אִיהוּ לְרוֹב זִמְנִין. וְכַד אִתְמְלֵי רוּגְזָא, לֵית בֵּיהּ רְחִימוּ כְּלָל, וְאִתְהַפָּךְ לְאַכְזָרִיּוּת. לָאו אִיהוּ מָארֵיהּ דְּרָזִין, דָּא אִיהוּ בְּרָזָא דְּאָת ה', דְּאִתְכְּלִיל בְּאָת ס'.

Colors Eyes White

92. He with eyes that are green and white together with a little black color in them, can be trusted with secrets and is successful in utilizing them. If he begins with success, then he will continue to succeed further. His enemies cannot prevail against him and he rules over them entirely, and they are submissive to him. This is under the sign of the letter Caf, which is included in the letter Samech. Thus, he rules once he starts TO RULE. Thus far are the mysteries of the eyes, which are revealed to the wise.

92. עַיְינִין יְרוֹקִין וְחִוָּורִן כַּחֲדָא, וּזְעֵיר מִגָּוֶון אוּכָם בְּהוּ, דָּא אִיהִי מָארֵיהּ דְּרָזִין, וְאַצְלַח בְּהוּ. וְאִי שָׁאַרִי בְּאַצְלָחוּתָא אַצְלַח וְסָלִיק. שַׂנְאוֹי לָא יַכְלִין לֵיהּ, וְאִיהוּ שַׁלִּיט עָלַיְיהוּ בְּשׁוּלְטָנוּ, וְאִתְכַּפְיָין קָמֵיהּ. דָּא אִיהוּ בְּרָזָא דְּאָת כ', דְּאִתְכְּלִיל בְּרָזָא דְּאָת ס'. וְע"ד אִיהוּ שַׁלִּיט, אִי שָׁאֲרִי בֵּיהּ. עַד הָכָא רָזִין דְּעַיְינִין לְאִינוּן מָארֵי דְּחָכְמְתָא.
