What does מבט mean exactly?

Why is אחד after מבט instead of before it?

With the number one, Hebrew often puts the numeral after the noun:

• ספר אחד = one book
• ילד אחד = one boy
• מבט אחד = one glance

So מבט אחד is the normal way to say one glance or a single glance.

This is different from many other numbers, which usually come before the noun.

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?

Hebrew usually does not use a separate word for is / are in the present tense.

So:

• מבט אחד מספיק
  literally: one glance enough / one glance suffices

In natural English, we translate it with is:

• One glance is enough.

This missing present-tense is is very common in Hebrew.
