eye
One of two parts of the body of humans and animals that is used to see things, after which the observed information is stored and processed in the mind; sparkling when the body is healthy and strong, but dim when weak or sick; the eyes also play a significant role in determining whether a person is considered beautiful or not; eyes can reflect both an attitude of compassion and a sentiment of malice; high eyes are associated with pride, whereas lowly eyes are connected with humility; a good eye is associated with generosity, whereas an evil eye denotes stinginess; winking the eye is associated with underhanded practices

In the other Testament 3 words
- ὀφθαλμός ophthalmós · G3788 · eye, seeing, sight
- Greek ὀφθαλμός is the direct lexical equivalent of Hebrew עַיִן in its core anatomical sense ('eye') and extends to the same figurative domains (vision, appearance, perspective, attitude), making it the standard translation across both literal and metaphorical contexts.
- ἐναντίον enantíon · G1726 · in front of, before, in the sight of
- ἐναντίον (enantíon, G1726) renders the idiomatic Hebrew phrase בְּעֵינֵי ("in the eyes of") as a formal Greek adverbial construction meaning "in the presence/view of," capturing the evaluative perspective sense of עַיִן (ʻayin, H5869) but narrowed to its prepositional-phrase usage rather than the standalone noun "eye."
- ἐνώπιον enṓpion · G1799 · in front of, before, in the sight of
- Greek ἐνώπιον specifically renders the prepositional phrase usage of Hebrew עַיִן in constructions meaning 'in the sight/presence of' or 'before' (literally 'before the eyes of'), representing a grammaticalized subset of the broader Hebrew lexeme's semantic range which includes the concrete noun 'eye' and various idiomatic extensions.
Semantic domains 4 entries
- Shape002001001052
- עַיִן most commonly denotes the eye and, by extension, outward appearance or countenance, as in Genesis 3:6's tree "desirable to make one wise" appealing "to the eyes" and Genesis 6:8's "favor in the eyes of the LORD."
- Waterbodies001002008
- עַיִן denotes a spring or fountain of water, a body of water, illustrated at Genesis 16:7 ("the angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness") and Exodus 15:27 ("there were twelve springs of water"), a genuine secondary sense of this lexeme alongside its far more frequent "eye" sense.
- Names of Locations003001010
