He cuts channels through the rock, and his eye sees every precious thing, describing both the engineering works through which humans access earth's resources and the perception that enables discovery. The cutting of channels suggests that humans create pathways through stone, engineering access where none naturally exists. The assertion that his eye sees every precious thing suggests that once humans understand what to look for, they perceive it unerringly, that human sight, focused by knowledge, becomes highly selective and effective. The verse combines the engineering and perceptual dimensions of human knowledge.
