her two hands

Morphological NotesNoun, feminine; dual construct form (יָדַיִם → יָדֵי־) with 3fs pronominal suffix; literally "hands of her."
Rendering RationaleThe noun יָד in the dual construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix denotes specifically the pair of hands belonging to her. Rendering it as "her two hands" preserves both the dual number and the possessive suffix while keeping the core physical sense of the root.
