Exegesis
The conjunction ve-hu {וְה֥וּא | wə-hû} ‘and he’ introduces a parallel predicate with the adjective pisseach {פִסֵּחַ | pî-ṣē-aḥ} ‘lame’ and the construct shtei raglav {שְׁתֵּי רַגְלָיו | šə-tê ra-ḡlāv} ‘two feet of his’, marking the extent of his condition. This coordinated pattern of participles and modifiers underscores both his privileged status and his physical limitation.
In context — 2 Samuel 9:13
And Mephiboshet lived in Jerusalem, because he partook perpetually of the king’s table ; and he was lame in both feet.
