Exegesis
In the second clause, eisin hemin {εἰσὶν ἡμῖν | ei-sín hē-mîn} uses a dative of advantage to convey possession (“we have”), followed by andres tessares {ἄνδρες τέσσαρες | án-dres tés-sa-res} ‘four men’.
In context — Acts 21:23
Therefore do this that we say to you: There are four men among us who have a vow upon them.
