Exegesis
The verse begins with the vav-conjunction veʾetsbeat {וְאֶצְבְּעָת֙ | vəʾɛṣbəʿāṯ} linking to a nominal clause introduced by raglayya {רַגְלַיָּ֔א | raglayyā}, with a dual noun specifying “of the feet.”
In context — Daniel 2:42
And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong, and partly broken .
