Musar su Deuteronomio 14:13
וְהָרָאָה֙ וְאֶת־הָ֣אַיָּ֔ה וְהַדַּיָּ֖ה לְמִינָֽהּ׃
e il glede, il falco e l'aquilone secondo la sua specie;
Kav HaYashar
Come take a look at what is stated in the Zohar, Parashas Pikudei (263b). There it tells of an angel called Patos who seduces (mefateh) men to gaze at and examine that which is not necessary for them in an adulterous and wanton manner. After a man dies and is buried in the grave this angel then comes and restores to him his soul, after which he takes hold of him cruelly and breaks the sockets of his eyes and plucks out his eyes. Later on the man is sentenced to terrible afflictions and then lowered into a pit filled with snakes and scorpions, which attack him and execute upon him terrible judgments, Heaven spare us! The saintly Ari, z”l, discusses a certain small bird mentioned in the Torah (Devarim 14:13) called the ra’ah (literally, “it saw”), which is able to see great distances. The Sages say that it was given this name because it sees from afar and uses its sight to engage in lewdness (Chullin 63b). Therefore, the Ari adds, the punishment of a man who gazes at women is that his soul is reincarnated in the form of this bird, measure for measure, which causes the soul great suffering.
