SIBI-P1 Translation H3027-45
and the two hands
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + definite article ה + common noun, dual number, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יָד in the dual form יָדַיִם denotes the natural pair of hands; the dual number is preserved in English as "two hands," and the definite article and conjunction are reflected as "and the." This maintains the concrete, physical sense rooted in the open, active hand. |
