let them look
To look, gaze, or observe with intent or attention; to fix one's gaze on something or someone, often with a sense of consideration, contemplation, or purposeful perception. The word can denote both literal and metaphorical acts of looking: physically turning the eyes toward an object, or regarding something in a thoughtful or evaluative manner. In some contexts, it connotes attentive observation (often with intent to respond), and in others, it can imply viewing with favor, respect, or concern.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5027-31
they will fix their gaze
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural verb from נבט. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative or directive sense, so the action is expressed as actively directing or fixing the gaze rather than merely seeing. The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural is rendered as "they will," preserving number and gender. |
