SIBI-P1 H5869-08
in the eyes of
| Root | עין (ʿ-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | eye, sight, perception, appearance, spring |
| Semantic Range | literal eyes; sight; outward appearance; perception; judgment; favor or disfavor; in the estimation of; presence of |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the "eyes" symbolize perception, evaluation, and moral judgment. The phrase "in the eyes of" often introduces divine or human assessment, especially in covenantal contexts where actions are weighed as good or evil in the sight of יהוה or others. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + feminine dual noun עַיִן in construct form (עֵינֵי). The dual reflects the natural pair (two eyes), and the construct state requires a following genitive complement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition בְּ ("in") with the construct dual of עַיִן ("eye"), literally "in the eyes of." Preserving "eyes" retains the concrete imagery of sight and perception inherent in the root, while the construct form naturally governs the following noun ("of …"). |
