N-R: [Var: When] The soul and spirit and animating-soul are exiled (it-galyan) in the liver, the gallbladder, and the spleen, all those limbs of the body, which are the holy People, all of them are distressed in bitterness, because of the soul, her place is the brain, the holy dove (yonah).
The soul is an eagle, through which this dove is sustained, with many prayers and services.
The boat of Jonah∞yonah (dove) is the cranium, and there are many appointed-ones in this ship who direct it, and they are ears, eyes, nose, mouth, – there are seven ‘appointed-ones’, and they add up to ‘the seventy languages that were in the ship of Jonah’.lxivMidrash Tanḥuma, Vayiqra Ch.8
