SIBI-P1 Translation H5869-53
to the eyes of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, dual, construct state ("eyes of") with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is the dual construct "eyes of" (עֵינֵי) with the prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"), yielding the literal sense "to the eyes of." This preserves the concrete imagery of the physical eyes while allowing for extended senses of sight or perception. |
