SIBI-P1 H5869-28

your two eyes (addressing you, masculine singular)

Rootעין (ʿ-y-n)
Core Meaningseye, sight, perception, spring, outward appearance
Semantic RangeLiteral eyes; sight or vision; perception or understanding; outward appearance; favor ("in the eyes of"); a spring or fountain (metaphorically, an "eye" of water).
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "eyes" represent not only physical sight but moral and spiritual perception—what one values, desires, or regards with favor. References to one's eyes often express accountability before YHWH, human discernment, or covenantal favor "in the eyes" of another.
Morphological NotesCommon noun feminine in gender; dual form in construct (עֵינֵי) + 2ms pronominal suffix ךָ. Though grammatically feminine, it appears here in the dual to denote the natural pair, with masculine singular possession.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַיִן fundamentally denotes the physical eye and, by extension, sight or perception. The form עֵינֶיךָ is the dual construct with a 2nd person masculine singular suffix, literally "the two eyes of you (m.s.)." The rendering preserves the dual sense (“two eyes”) and the masculine singular possession inherent in the suffix.
