Tiqqunei Soferim Masoretic note

ZEC.2.8

*...touches the apple (pupil) of MY eye.*

According to the note this word was amended to avoid God himself using anthropomorphic language. The "change" to third person allowed for interpretations of this "eye" being the "Divine Eye" or one's own eye, meaning anyone who damaged Israel injured themselves. (see Radaq's commentary)
