SIBI-P1 H8147-22
the two of them
| Morphological Notes | Masculine construct form of the cardinal number שְׁנַיִם (two) with 3mp pronominal suffix ("them"). Functions substantivally to denote a specific pair. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form שְׁנֵי is the masculine construct form of the numeral "two," joined with the 3rd person masculine plural suffix הֶם ("them"). "The two of them" preserves the dual sense of the root (pair, double) and accurately reflects the masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
