a.yin denotes eyes in the horn imagery of Daniel and the eye of God set upon Judah’s elders.

The attested usage chiefly names the eyes attributed to the horn in Daniel’s imagery; it also occurs in the construct expression “the eye of their God” upon Judah’s elders, while its specific contribution in Daniel 4:31 is not isolated by the translation.

1. Eyes in the horn imagery · dominant

   In Daniel 7:8, plural absolute forms occur in the clause describing a horn with “eyes like the eyes of a man.” In Daniel 7:20, the APB likewise renders the horn as having “eyes and a mouth speaking great things.”

2. Eye in a construct expression · common

   In Ezra 5:5, the singular construct form stands in the clause that the APB renders “the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Judahites,” expressing God’s attention toward them. Daniel 4:31 also has a singular construct form, but the supplied APB wording does not make this term’s particular contribution identifiable.

   Ezra 5:5Daniel 4:31

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “eyes” for the horn passages and “the eye of their God” in Ezra 5:5. In Daniel 4:31, its translation does not visibly reflect the term, so the English is not sufficient to identify a specific rendering there.
