Exegesis
The simile keishon {כְּאִישׁ֥וֹן | kə-ʾî-šôn} ‘like the pupil’ precedes the pronominal suffix einekha {עֵינֶֽיךָ | ʿē-neh-ḵā} ‘of your eye’, highlighting the value and protection due. The parallel commands of moral obedience and visual safeguarding emphasize the priority of wisdom.
In context — Proverbs 7:2
Keep my commandments and you will live; guard my teaching like the pupil of your eye.
