their eyes

Morphological NotesNoun, common; dual number in construct state (עֵינֵי) + 3mp pronominal suffix (הֶם).
Rendering RationaleThe form is the dual construct of עַיִן ("eye") with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, literally "the two eyes of them." The rendering "their eyes" preserves both the possessive suffix and the natural dual-to-plural expression in English.
