SIBI-P1 Translation H5869-52

to his eyes

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ + noun עַיִן (common noun, dual form עֵינַי construct) + 3rd person masculine singular suffix; literally "to the eyes of him."
Rendering RationaleThe noun עין in dual construct with a 3ms suffix yields "his eyes," and the prefixed לְ adds the prepositional sense "to/for." This preserves the concrete, anatomical sense rooted in seeing and perception without importing contextual idiom.
