in his eyes

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ (“in”) + noun עַיִן in dual construct form + 3ms pronominal suffix (“his”); literally “in the two eyes of him.” Though dual in form, it functions idiomatically as a standard plural for the natural pair.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַיִן (“eye”) appears here in the dual construct form עֵינֵי with a 3ms pronominal suffix, yielding “his eyes,” preceded by the preposition בְּ (“in”). The rendering “in his eyes” preserves the concrete imagery of sight and perception inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the masculine singular possessive.
