and his two eyes

Rootעין (ʿ-y-n)
Core Meaningseye, sight, spring, outward appearance, perception, regard
Semantic Rangephysical eyes; sight or vision; outward appearance; perception or understanding; favor or regard ("in the eyes of"); presence; a spring or fountain (metaphorical extension).
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "eyes" signify not only physical sight but perception, moral evaluation, and favor. What is done "in his eyes" expresses personal judgment, and when used of יהוה, it conveys divine awareness and righteous assessment.
Morphological NotesNoun common (both genders), dual construct form with 3ms suffix ("-his"), often preceded by conjunction וְ or preposition בְ. The dual form reflects the natural pair (two eyes).
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַיִן appears here in its dual construct form עֵינָיו with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, literally "his two eyes." The conjunction וְ adds "and." Rendering it as "and his two eyes" preserves the dual number and the masculine singular possession while retaining the concrete sense of the organ of sight from which figurative meanings derive.
