| Morphological Notes | Masculine dual noun in construct with 3rd person masculine singular suffix, prefixed with conjunction וּ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָתְנַיִם is a masculine dual form referring to the loins or waist region; with the 3ms pronominal suffix it becomes "his loins." The prefixed conjunction וּ adds "and," and "loins" preserves the inherent dual sense in natural English. |
