Keep: Proverbs 4:13, Leviticus 18:5, Isaiah 55:3, John 12:49, John 12:50, John 14:21, John 15:14, 1 John 2:3, 1 John 2:4, 1 John 5:1-3, Revelation 22:14
as the: As the pupil of the eye, the hole or the opening of the uveous coat, or iris, through which the rays of light pass, and falling upon the retina, there depict every object in its natural colour, as upon a piece of white paper. Now the pupil of the eye being essentially necessary to sight, and easily injured, it is not only, in common with the other parts, deeply entrenched in the skull, ramparted with the forehead and cheek bones, defended by the eyebrows, eyelids, and eyelashes, and placed so as to be best protected by the hands, but, by a wonderful mechanism, is contracted or dilated by the muscular power of the iris, without which an excess of light would cause instant blindness. Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalms 17:8, Zechariah 2:8
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 11:18 - ye lay up Proverbs 4:4 - keep John 5:38 - ye have Hebrews 2:1 - the more
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Keep my commandments and live,.... Not the commandments of the law only, but the commandments of Christ; and even the doctrines of Christ are so called, as faith in him, and love to the saints, 1 John 3:23; which is the way to live comfortably, peaceably, pleasantly, and honourably;
and my law as the apple of thine eye; the doctrine of Christ, the law of the Lord, that goes out of Zion; which should be as dear to men as the apple of their eye, and as carefully preserved, that the least injury is not done to it; it should be kept inviolate.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 7:2. As the apple of thine eye. — As the pupil of the eye, which is of such essential necessity to sight, and so easily injured.
