הִבִּ֣יטוּ אֵלָ֣יו וְנָהָ֑רוּ וּ֝פְנֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃
Spojrzeli ku Niemu i rozpromienieni byli, a oblicza ich nie pobladły.

This explains the use of the term הבטה: from above to below. You might ask: If so, why does it say (Bamidbar 21:9), “He would look (והביט) upon the copper snake and live,” [although he was lower than the snake]? The answer is: It means the copper snake would “look” upon him. And why is it written (Tehillim 34:6), “They looked (הביטו) to Him and became radiant,” which is from below to above? The answer is: Hashem is found everywhere. (source unknown) But Re’m explains: Rashi is saying that the הבטה mentioned here is from above to below, [but not everywhere else].
