her two eyes

Rootעין (ʿ-y-n)
Core Meaningseye, spring, well, sight, perception, outward appearance
Semantic RangeLiteral eye; sight or vision; outward appearance; presence; favor; attention; a spring or fountain (as the "eye" of the land); perception or understanding.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "eyes" signify perception, awareness, moral evaluation ("in the eyes of"), and relational presence. As organs of sight and symbols of attention or favor, they often express divine watchfulness, human desire, or moral judgment.
Morphological NotesNoun feminine dual construct (עֵינֵי) from עַיִן with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix (-הָ). The dual form regularly denotes paired body parts.
Rendering RationaleThe form עֵינֶיהָ is the dual construct of עַיִן ("eye") with a 3rd feminine singular suffix, literally "the two eyes of her." Rendering it as "her two eyes" preserves the inherent dual number of the Hebrew noun and accurately reflects the feminine singular possessive suffix.
