Haplous describes an eye whose condition is linked with the brightness of the whole body.

The two occurrences use the adjective of the eye in a saying that contrasts bodily brightness with darkness; the supplied translation presents the eye as “sound” when the body is bright.

Senses in use

  1. Of an eye associated with bodily brightness · dominant

    In Matthew 6:22, the nominative singular masculine adjective occurs in the clause about the eye, followed by the body becoming bright. In Luke 11:34, the same form contrasts an eye described this way with an evil eye and a dark body; the APB renders the relevant condition as “sound.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Matthew 6:22 and Luke 11:34, the APB presents the eye as “sound” in the clauses that lead to a bright body. This identifies the clause-level presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalent.
