Vision as a poel Yotze 2
Now that I know the idea that vision is an outward effect (while hearing is an inward receiving), I am attempting to go through Tanach and understand the vision referred there in this context.
What brought this on was someone mentioning to me that before Moshe felt confident to view the land of Israel, he hid his face by the burning bush. When I looked at it I realized that Hashem stopped him from even coming close to the burning bush by saying "al tikrav halom". If so, Moshe was hiding his face even from seeing from 'afar'.
However, this needs to be understood within the context of vision as an outward affect.
You could say that Moshe did not feel on the level at that time to reveal the hidden "ya're me'habit el
ha'E-lokim'. E-lokim being the contracted, 'metzumtzam' concepts. Moshe was afraid he could not break through the tzimtzum to reveal by his 'act' of vision towards it.
We also need to understand the story of Moshe covering his face when he went into Hashem and uncovering it when he spoke to the Jews. As a receptacle from Hashem, he had to cover himself to receive. However, as a giver, he uncovered his face to give and reveal more.
Now to start from Bereshit and go through, trying to understand.
First, every day of creation when it says after each creation, "va'yar E-lokim Ki tov". It could mean, Hashem acted upon it with the concept/the level of vision to make it good. The was a quality of goodness that was added by Hashem viewing that creation.
By Adam Harishon, it says "Va'ya've El Ha'adam Lirot Ma Yira lo". Hashem brought the animals to Adam 'to see' what he would call it. While Adam was naming the animals Hashem's concept of vision had an affect to reveal the name. This answers the question why Hashem would have Adam do something that would seem to be under the realm of the divine. In this light, part of the process of Hashem 'naming'/seeing the names of the animals was Hashem bringing them infront of Adam. Hashem was the actual actor in the naming and Adam just a detail in the process (even if you do not give expression to the 'vision' part of this you still have to come to this conclusion.)
To expand on later:
When Chava saw the tree
When Avraham knew that Sarah was beautiful and was afraid of the Egyptions site of her.
When avimelech says to Yitzchok 'hi'ne lach kesut eynayim."
