Dear Karl,
The context indicates that a man should be looking at his wife only, not at other women, which should be dispersed from his eyes. My reading keeps the grammar as standard instead of changing to a grammatically non-standard question and fits the context. Is there any grammatical point that I overlook?
HH: Well, you haven't revised your translation since I pointed out that the verb is not in the second person imperative. If you do that, then perhaps we can go on.
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
