| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ prefixed to masculine dual cardinal number, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition בְּ ("in/with/by") with the masculine dual cardinal שְׁנַיִם, denoting exactly two as a paired set. "In two" preserves the prepositional prefix and the dual sense of a double or pair. |
