What The Form Does In This Verse
The seeing phrase in Isaiah 6:10, where the warning names what the people must not see with their eyes
The sequence of seeing, hearing, understanding, turning, and healing in Isaiah 6:10
The prefixed bet marks the eyes as the means or sphere of seeing, and the suffixed noun ties those eyes to the same collective people addressed in the verse.
