and the pair of balance-scales of

Root	אזן (ʾ-z-n)
Core Meanings	to weigh, to balance, to give ear, to make level
Semantic Range	weighing scales, balances, instruments of measurement, figurative standard of judgment or fairness
Conceptual Significance	Balances in the Hebrew Bible symbolize justice, equity, and divine judgment. Accurate scales reflect covenantal righteousness, while false balances represent moral corruption and social injustice.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וּ ("and") + masculine dual noun construct (Ncmdc) from מֹאזֵן; the dual ending -ֵי marks construct state of a pair ("scales of").
Rendering Rationale	מֹאזְנֵי is a masculine dual noun in the construct state from the root אזן, conveying the idea of weighing or balancing. The dual form naturally denotes a pair (the two pans of a scale), and the prefixed וּ adds "and," while the construct form requires the sense "of" to link it to what follows.
