Exegesis
The comparative phrase keveyt saʾatayîm zêraʿ {כְּבֵית סָאתַיִם זֶרַע | kəbêyt saʾatayîm zêraʿ} equates the trench’s size to the capacity for two seahs of seed, where keveyt marks comparison, saʾatayîm is a dual measure, and zêraʿ names the substance.
In context — 1 Kings 18:32
And he built the stones into an altar in the name of the LORD and made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
