in my eyes
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + noun עַיִן (common gender, dual, construct) + 1cs pronominal suffix: "my eyes." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַיִן in the dual construct with a 1st person singular suffix yields "my eyes," and the prefixed בְּ gives "in." This preserves the concrete imagery of the anatomical eyes while allowing its extended sense of personal sight or perception. |
