in his eyes

Rootעין (ʿ-י-n)
Core Meaningseye, sight, perception, spring, outward appearance
Semantic Rangephysical eyes; sight; perception; judgment; evaluation; favor; outward appearance; perspective; opinion
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, "in his eyes" often signals personal or moral evaluation—what seems right, good, or acceptable from an individual’s perspective. It highlights the Hebrew understanding of the "eye" as the organ not only of sight but of discernment, desire, and value assessment before God and others.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") + noun עַיִן in dual construct form (עֵינֵי/עֵינָי pattern) with 3ms pronominal suffix ו ("his") = "his eyes." Though morphologically dual, it functions idiomatically for natural pairs (eyes).
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַיִן ("eye") in the dual construct form עֵינָיו with a 3rd masculine singular suffix means "his eyes." Prefixed with בְּ ("in"), the phrase literally reads "in his eyes," preserving the concrete imagery of sight that underlies figurative senses of perception or judgment, while accurately reflecting the masculine singular possessive morphology.
