SIBI-P1 H5869-13

in your eyes (masculine singular)

Rootעין (ʿ-y-n)
Core Meaningseye, sight, perception, appearance, spring/source
Semantic RangeLiteral physical eyes; sight or vision; outward appearance; personal judgment or estimation ("in the sight of"); favor or approval; perception; a spring or fountain (by analogy).
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "eyes" represent perception, evaluation, and moral judgment. What is done "in one’s eyes" reflects personal or communal standards, often contrasted with what is right "in the eyes of YHWH," highlighting the tension between human perspective and divine evaluation.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") + noun עַיִן in construct plural/dual form עֵינֵי + 2ms pronominal suffix ךָ, yielding "in the eyes of you" (masculine singular).
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵינֵי is the construct plural/dual form of "eye," joined with a 2nd masculine singular suffix ("your") and prefixed by בְּ ("in"). Rendering it "in your eyes" preserves the concrete imagery of sight from the root עין while reflecting the masculine singular possessor indicated in the morphology.
