in the Twofold Narrow-Place (Mitsrayim)

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to the proper noun מִצְרַיִם, a dual-form place name (masculine proper noun, HR/Np). The dual ending -ַיִם reflects either a geographical duality (Upper and Lower Egypt) or an intensification of the root concept.
Rendering RationaleThe name מִצְרַיִם derives from the root מצר, conveying narrowness or confinement, and appears in a dual form, traditionally understood as "Upper and Lower Egypt" or a "double strait." Rendering it as "the Twofold Narrow-Place" preserves both the root sense of constriction and the grammatical dual form, while the prefixed בְּ is reflected by "in."
