Exegesis
The second clause, introduced by ve-einav lo nasa {וְעֵינָיו֙ לֹ֣א נָשָׂ֔א | wə-ʿê-nāw lō nā-śāʾ}, shifts to cognitive restraint from looking at gillulei {גִּלּוּלֵ֖י | gil-lū-lê} ‘idols’, with nasa {נָשָׂ֔א | nā-śāʾ} ‘lift’ plus el {אֶל־ | ʾel}.
In context — Ezekiel 18:15
He has not eaten upon the mountains , nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor’s wife .
