Genesis45:20

20 Also regard not your stuff : for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

Heb. Let not your eye pity or spare any part of your stuff, as loath to leave it behind you, or afraid to lose it. Sparing or pitying is an act of the mind, but it is ascribed to the eye here, as also Ezek. 7. 4, 9. and 16. 5. partly because there it discovers it self by tears or otherwise; and partly because the sight of the eye doth oft affect the heart and move pity.

Marginal references: Heb. let not your eyes spare, &c.
