SIBI-P1 H5869-32
her two eyes
| Root | עין (ʿ-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | eye, spring, well, sight, perception, outward appearance |
| Semantic Range | Literal eye; sight or vision; outward appearance; presence; favor; attention; a spring or fountain (as the "eye" of the land); perception or understanding. |
| Conceptual Significance | In 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 Notes | Noun feminine dual construct (עֵינֵי) from עַיִן with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix (-הָ). The dual form regularly denotes paired body parts. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
