in the eyes of them

Rootעין (ʿ-y-n)
Core Meaningseye, sight, perception, appearance, spring
Semantic RangeLiteral eyes; sight or vision; outward appearance; opinion or judgment ("in the eyes of"); favor or approval; visible presence; by extension, a spring or fountain.
Conceptual Significance"Eyes" in Hebrew thought represent perception, evaluation, and moral judgment. What is done "in the eyes of" someone reflects how actions are evaluated or regarded, whether by humans or by YHWH, emphasizing accountability to a perceiving presence.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ + noun עַיִן in masculine plural construct (עֵינֵי) + 3mp pronominal suffix הֶם. Literally "in the eyes of them." Though עַיִן is grammatically feminine, this form is the standard plural construct with a masculine plural suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַיִן ("eye") appears here in the masculine plural construct form עֵינֵי with a 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("of them"), preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in"). "In the eyes of them" preserves the concrete imagery of "eyes" (plural) and accurately reflects the 3mp suffix while retaining the root sense of sight and perception.
