SIBI-P1 H8147-37
and two of
| Root | שני (sh-n-y) |
| Core Meanings | two, pair, double, repetition, secondness |
| Semantic Range | two, a pair, both (when contextually definite), double, second (in ordinal or repeated sense) |
| Conceptual Significance | The number two in biblical thought often conveys confirmation and sufficiency of witness (e.g., two witnesses), partnership, or duality. Its construct usage frequently marks counted pairs within covenantal, legal, and ritual contexts, emphasizing completeness through pairing. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + feminine construct form of the cardinal number שְׁתַּיִם (two). Tagged HC/Acfdc: Hebrew conjunction + adjective cardinal feminine dual construct. Used before a feminine plural noun in construct relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וּשְׁתֵּי consists of the conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to the feminine construct form of the cardinal number "two." The construct state requires completion by a following noun (“two of…”), and the feminine form agrees with a feminine noun. The rendering preserves both the additive conjunction and the construct sense inherent in the morphology. |
