204. Black eyes and his eyebrows, which are the hairs over the eyes, are big. There are many hairs in them, one atop the other. These eyes, the black and the green go within them, and the green is more sunken.
This one has five lines in the forehead, two across from side to side, and three lines that do not cross from side to side. This is in the letter Peh and in the letter Aleph, and everything is the letter Peh in its full [Peh-Aleph], which is Peh and Aleph. The letter Reish is not in it at all.
205. If his hair is black and hanging, and is not smooth, it is a person who is always silent. However, he is intelligent, slandering. His words are with anger, his mouth speaks great things, he is successful and unsuccessful. He quarrels at home, is not mindful of people’s respect, hypocritical, two-faced, his brows are slightly red.
206. If he has a big crease under his eye, which continues up to the nose on the right, and two creases together, one of which is smaller than the other, he had intercourse with a woman in menstruation a few days ago, and his iniquity inscribed in him these records.
207. He has an inscription between his shoulders, and there are four hairs in it, where one of them, the one in the middle, is big and hanging, and the three others are small. Before he had this transgression, he had three small hairs, and one was inscribed in him, thinner and smaller than all. That inscription that was in him before he sinned was black, and the hairs were all white.
After he sins, it is not so. Rather, he has one black inscription, and one in the middle, as red as a bean, and this is the hair that grows among the others, whose top is red, and the rest is white. If he repents, there is a white inscription in his right eye, white inside the black.
208. There are three lines in his forehead, which cross from side to side, and two that are not across. A black inscription with a red string around it, and within that string that is one thin and small hair, and three hairs in the middle, all together. That person will grow a little wiser in the Torah if he learns, but he will not succeed in his actions.
209. If the green in the eye is not so colored and his eyes are black, and one small red string passes between these colors, then he is in the letter Peh with a filling [of Peh-Aleph], and in the letter Reish alone, without a filling.
210. You find six lines in the forehead of that person—three passing from side to side, and three that do not pass. His hairs are strong, and are not so much; they are hanging and not hanging. That person is at peace with every person. He is stingy; there is no joy in him; and even at a time of joy, he is not happy and seems to be in grief.
211. If his left ear is blocked, in his teeth, there are three big teeth on top, which make room for the teeth underneath to enter under them; he is loyal, and not so much.
212. His face is long and is not handsome; his voice is like a woman’s, and his words are like a woman’s. He cleans his mouth as he speaks, and opens the fingers in his hands when he speaks. When he walks, he places a dirty screen ahead of him so that no person will brush him. It is written about him, “for it is an abomination before the Lord.”
213. If the eyes are green and these signs are in him, and his face is long and handsome, his hair is black and plucked up in his head, his head is big, and when he walks, he bows his head, his brows are as in the previous person, meaning that his eyebrows are big, it is written about him, “Keep your feet from their path.”
214. Big green eyes are in two letters, Reish and Peh-Aleph [Peh]. One is alone, Reish, and one with a filling, Peh. In his forehead, there is a line that walks and crosses from side to side, and three other lines that do not cross. His forehead is big, the hairs on his eyes are not big. There are many hairs in his beard, and his face is handsome, red, and his hair is smooth and not so much.
215. Such a person fears sin, loves Torah, loves those who engage in Torah, delights in everything, does good to all, lies for his own benefit, loyal to the secrets of the Torah, good for worldly matters. One who partners with him will not succeed, neither he nor the other. When he is alone, without a partner, he succeeds, since the letter Reish causes him that.
216. He is flawed in his head above, in one inscription that he had there, which a boy made on him with a stone unintentionally and inadvertently, and the blow was covered with hair. The inscription of the blow is like a Greek Gimel. That person is loyal to people, and will rise to be the head of the nation.
217. There are eyes that are deep and laughing. That person is in the letters when they are full, except that the first one is Reish, and then Peh. This is a person who succeeds in his actions.
218. There are three lines in his forehead, his forehead is round, his eyes are bright, embroidered as though by an embroiderer, pure, as it is written, “sitting besides a full pool.” His enemies will fall under him; he is intelligent, successful in everything, scared in his actions, good with people, speaks harshly without fear. He is generous, does good, and Lo Lishma [not for Her sake].
219. His hair is smooth and hanging, and his tongue is like a sword. There are creases under his eyes: three big ones and three small ones. If there are four big ones and three small ones, then you will find two lines in his head that cross from side to side, and three lines that reach and do not reach from side to side.
220. Under his navel, too, you will find an inscription of a depiction of a man’s head, two hairs, white and black, hanging from it, in the inscription. That person failed with a man’s woman in the distant past, and did not repent from that transgression. Sicknesses chase him, and therefore, one of the illnesses is that he needs to urinate but cannot, for until now, that iniquity is hanging on the neck of a slant serpent, and by this controls him. But this is for the end of days, in the days of old age.
221. If he repents while he is still strong, in his youth, that inscription diminishes its form, and hairs do not hang from it at all. If he repents at the end of his days, when sicknesses are already chasing them, that inscription becomes creased and hairs are hanging from it, and that sickness of arrest of urination does not move away from him since the iniquity hangs on that serpent’s neck.
222. Because a serpent is gripping that iniquity on his neck, there is no one to untie the knot from his neck, since that serpent does not have permission in a person’s youth to tie that iniquity on his neck. However, at old age, it ties it with strong ties.
223. The serpent chases that person and strikes him in that covenant with which he sinned. Although he has repented, he will cry out from the plight of the pain of the strike. When that serpent leaps and enters that tie of the iniquity, at the bottom of the great abyss, that person will have relief, and the serpent goes out and does it after many days.
224. When that person dies, three hundred police officers chase that person. They capture him and bring him before the king, and the holy king breaks these ties of the iniquity, and that iniquity comes off from over the serpent’s neck.
225. It is written about that, “Surely this iniquity will not be atoned for you until you die,” and it is written, “And your covenant with death will be atoned for.” That covenant of yours broke the ties of iniquity, the death after the dying, as it is written, “For he said, ‘I will appease him with the present that goes before me,’” I will cancel his anger. Similarly, “And your covenant will be atoned for,” that the covenant will revoke the iniquity. At that time, a person goes out to that world cleansed of that iniquity, since he suffered his punishment in this world.
226. How does the verse, “Surely this iniquity will not be atoned for you until you die,” speak of that iniquity of a man’s woman? It is written here, “Surely this iniquity will not be atoned for you,” and in the prohibition of a man’s woman who committed harlotry, it is written, “The man shall be free from iniquity.” Regarding Avner and Ish-Boshet, it is written, “And you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman.” Similarly, the iniquity in the verse, if it is atoned for, also speaks of a man’s woman.
According to the verse, “If it is atoned for,” it is written, “Kill cattle and slaughter sheep, eat meat and drink wine, eat and drink.” It is also written there, “Ate and wiped her mouth,” and it is written, “for if the bread he eats.” As the coupling is called “eating” there, here, too, “eat and drink” means coupling, with a man’s woman.
227. It is written, “Whoever is a fool, let him come here. And to the heartless, she said, ‘stolen water are sweet, and hidden bread is pleasant.’ And he did not know that there are Rephaim there, in the valleys of Sheol are those she calls.” Thus, for the iniquity of a man’s woman, he is punished after death, as well, as it is written, “in the valleys of Sheol are those she calls.” This is when he did not receive his punishment for that iniquity in this world.
228. If he has ancestral merit, his punishment for that iniquity is in this world, as it is written, “And I will visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes.” “Visit” means little by little, as it is written, “In his distress, he is their salvation,” that if He sends destruction and trouble, He entertains them a little. It is also written, “visits the iniquity of the fathers over the sons,” which means that he diminishes the iniquity, placing some on this, and some on that, and his and his father are saved from the punishment of that world, since the son exonerates his father.
229. Crooked eyes that do not look truthfully, sincerely, that man is without any sign [also letter], since all the letters flee from him, since he has an evil eye, and his vision is upside down, and that evil eyed one governs him.
230. If the actions of that person are kosher [proper/fitting], the evil eye controls only his eyes, and one must be careful from one’s eyes, since the Sitra Achra governs them. These eyes see every evil and become for him seducers to the bad. The organs of his body win, but his eyes govern and look with evil.
232. That person blemishes the use of holiness. For this reason, no letters are in him, and they depart from him, since he is in that same green line that emerges from Tohu in the measuring of the candle. We should look at the lines on the hand, on the right and on the left, and you will find it in these lines.
233. One who has one eye closed, but not so much, and the other eye open, has one of these flaws. This is only in the letter Reish in its fullness, Reish-Yod-Shin, and the letter Yod reaches in him and does not reach.
