Similarly, (Psalms 121:4) "Behold, He neither slumbers or sleeps, the Watcher of Israel." Is it Israel alone that He watches? Does He not watch over all? As it is written (Job 12:10) "In His hand is the soul of every living thing and the spirit of all the flesh of man." What is the intent, then, of "the Watcher of Israel"? — It is as if He watches only over Israel. And because of that watching, He watches over all along with them.
Similarly, (I Kings 9:3) "And My eyes and My heart shall be there (in the Temple) all of the days." Now are they there alone? Is it not written (Zechariah 4:10) "They are the eyes of the L-rd, which range over all the world," and (Proverbs 15:3) "In every place, the eyes of the L-rd look upon the evil and the good." What, then, is the intent of "And My eyes and My heart shall be there all of the days"? — It is as if they are only there. And because they are there, they are everywhere.
