Exegesis
Alternating minhon {מנהון | min-hôn} ‘from them’ and minnehen {מִנְּהֵ֞ן | min-nē-hēn} ‘from these’ pattern constituents: chasaf {חֲסַ֤ף | ḥă-saf} ‘clay’ from di-fechar {דִּֽי־פֶחָר֙ | dî-fe-ḥār} ‘of the potter’ contrasted with parzel {פַּרְזֶ֔ל | par-zel} ‘iron’.
In context — Daniel 2:41
And as you saw the feet and the toes, part of them was of potter’s clay and part was of iron; the kingdom shall be divided, yet there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
