SIBI-P1 Translation H5869-73
and eyes of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; dual number; construct state; prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַיִן in the dual construct form עֵינֵי denotes the two eyes as organs of seeing; the construct state requires the relational sense "of," and the prefixed וְ adds "and." The rendering preserves both the dual number (expressed in English as plural "eyes") and the construct relationship. |
