Subjects in this Topic:
APPLE OF THE EYE (lit. ‘child or daughter of the eye,’ i.e. that which is most precious [the organ of sight], and most carefully guarded [by the projecting bone, protecting it as far as possible from injury]).—A figure of God’s care of His people (Deu_32:10, Psa_17:8, Zec_2:8), and of the preciousness of the Divine law (Pro_7:2). In Lam_2:18 it is the source of tears.
C. W. Emmet.
