SIBI-P1 H8147-17
from the two of them
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (min, "from") + masculine construct form שְׁנֵי (dual/cardinal "two of") + 3rd person masculine plural suffix הֶם ("them"). Though "two" is dual in sense, it governs a plural pronominal suffix referring to two masculine individuals. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the masculine construct form שְׁנֵי ("two of"), followed by the 3rd person masculine plural suffix "them." Rendering it as "from the two of them" preserves the explicit dual sense of the root שׁני (two-ness) and accurately reflects the masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
