SIBI-P1 H8147-35

and two

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + masculine cardinal number in the dual form, absolute state. Masculine form (שְׁנֵים) as opposed to the feminine שְׁתַּיִם.
Rendering RationaleThe form וּשְׁנֵים consists of the conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to שְׁנֵים, the masculine cardinal dual form meaning "two." The rendering "and two" preserves both the conjunction and the masculine dual number inherent in the Hebrew form.
