Morphological NotesMasculine dual cardinal number in the construct state (HAcmdc). Used before a noun to denote two (masculine or mixed-gender counted nouns). Distinct from the absolute form שְׁנַיִם and the feminine form שְׁתֵּי/שְׁתַּיִם.
Rendering RationaleThe form שְׁנֵי is the masculine dual construct of שְׁנַיִם (“two”). The construct state requires a following noun, so the most faithful rendering is “two of,” preserving its dual number and its grammatical function binding it to what follows.
