SIBI-P1 Translation H5869-13
in your two eyes
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, dual, construct; prefixed בְּ (in); 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַיִן fundamentally denotes the physical eye, the organ of seeing. The dual construct form with prefixed בְּ and 2ms suffix yields "in the eyes of you," here rendered transparently as "in your two eyes" to preserve the dual number and the second masculine singular possession. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
in your eyes
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'in your two eyes' is overly literal and not idiomatic; 'in your eyes' is contextually correct and recognizes the Hebrew idiom for 'in your opinion.' |
