SIBI-P1 H5869-57
and in the eyes of
| Root | עין (ʿ-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | eye, sight, seeing, perception, spring (as an eye of water), outward appearance |
| Semantic Range | literal eyes; sight or vision; perception; evaluation; opinion; favor; appearance; presence; a spring or fountain (by metaphor of an eye in the landscape) |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, what is done "in the eyes of" someone signifies evaluation before their perception and judgment—often before YHWH’s all-seeing gaze. The imagery of the "eyes" underscores divine omniscience, human accountability, and the relational dimension of favor or displeasure. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition ב + feminine plural construct of עַיִן ("eye"). The construct form עֵינֵי means "eyes of" and governs a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וּבְעֵינֵי consists of the conjunction ו ("and") plus the preposition ב ("in") attached to the feminine plural construct form "eyes of." Rendering it "and in the eyes of" preserves the concrete imagery of sight inherent in the root עין while accurately reflecting the plural construct relationship and prefixed conjunction and preposition. |
