Exegesis
The repeated partitive constructions minhon/minnehin/uminhon/uminnehin {מנהון/מִנְּהֵ֥ין/ומנהון/וּמִנְּהֵ֣ין} employ the preposition min plus pronominal suffix to distribute elements—iron and clay—across the toes.
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 .
