Exegesis
The quantified phrase dyo ē treis {δύο ἢ τρεῖς | dýo ē treîs} ‘two or three’ precedes the imperative verb laleitosan {λαλείτωσαν | laleítōsan} ‘let them speak’, so that the numeric limit is highlighted before the action, emphasizing order and restraint.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:29
But let two or three prophets speak, and let the others discern what is said.
