in his eye

Rootעין (ʿ-y-n)
Core Meaningseye, sight, perception, spring, outward appearance
Semantic Rangeliteral eye; sight; perception; evaluation; favor; appearance; presence; a spring or fountain (as the "eye" of the land).
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "eye" represents perception, evaluation, and moral judgment—what is right or wrong "in the eye" of a person or of YHWH. It conveys both physical seeing and inward assessment, often marking divine approval or human perspective.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ + noun עַיִן in construct singular + 3ms pronominal suffix; masculine singular possession indicated by וֹ ("his").
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַיִן (ʿayin) means "eye" in the literal and extended sense of sight or perception. The form is singular with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"), preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in"), yielding the precise rendering "in his eye," preserving both the root imagery and the masculine singular possession.
