to the eyes
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל + noun עַיִן; common noun, dual number, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵינַיִם is the dual absolute form of עַיִן (“eye”), denoting the natural pair of eyes; the prefixed לָ expresses direction or relation (“to/for”). The rendering preserves both the dual sense and the primary anatomical meaning rooted in seeing. |
