SIBI-P1 H2651-03
his two fistfuls
| Morphological Notes | Masculine noun in the dual construct form (חָפְנֵי־) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־ו), literally "the two handfuls of him." The dual form reflects the natural pair of hands. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹפֶן refers to the hollowed hand used to grasp something, hence a "fistful" or "handful." The form is masculine dual construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix ("his"), so "his two fistfuls" preserves both the dual number and the possessive element. |
