Exegesis
Nofel ûgəlûy ʿênayim {נֹפֵל וּגְלוּי עֵינָיִם | nōp̄el ûgəlûy ʿênayim} combines two participles—“falling” (a posture of awe) and “revealed” (eyes uncovered)—to depict the physical and perceptual response to divine revelation. The English versions preserve the participial sequence and relative linkage to convey the prophet’s transformational encounter.

ʿ-y-nayin-yod-nun
