SIBI-P1 H5869-25
his two eyes
| Root | עין (ʿ-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | eye, sight, spring, outward appearance, perception |
| Semantic Range | physical eyes, sight or vision, appearance, presence, favor, attention, perception, springs or fountains (as the ‘eye’ of the land) |
| Conceptual Significance | The “eye” in biblical thought represents perception, moral awareness, and relational attention (e.g., what is right in one’s eyes, or being in the eyes of YHWH). It can signify divine watchfulness, human intention, or the life-giving source of water, linking physical sight with spiritual and evaluative insight. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine noun עַיִן in the dual construct form עֵינֵי־ with 3ms suffix ו; dual ending -ַיִם becomes -ֵי in construct, with suffix yielding עֵינָיו. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עֵינָיו is the dual noun in construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, literally “the two eyes of him.” Rendering it as “his two eyes” preserves the dual sense inherent in the Hebrew form and accurately reflects the masculine singular possessor. |
