He recognized him
Look at him. Observe him or his thoughts.
("The parable of Jacob and Esau, what is the matter? To a man who calls his friend and recognizes him as seeking to kill him" - Sota Ma'ab, and so on: "And he recognizes him as weak and not in good health. His heart will not allow him to turn back to the old man" - Y. Burla/ Kisuphim, 69, and so on: "And woe to him who recognizes me as a creature "It is such that one could load a thousand wagonloads of stories into his ears and still have room to load more. He is loaded into the ears with stories and stories of stories." - Agnon/ Ad Hena, 92)
