Exegesis
The narrative marker vĕhinneh {וְהִנֵּה | wə-hinnēh} “and behold” focuses on shenei duda’ei te’enim {שְׁנֵי דּוּדָאֵי תְאֵנִים | šənê dūdāʼê tə’ēnîm} “two baskets of figs,” a construct chain denoting quantity and content.
In context — Jeremiah 24:1
The LORD let me see, and look—two baskets of figs stood before the LORD’s temple after Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had taken Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into exile from Jerusalem, along with the officials of Judah and the craftsmen and the smiths, and had brought them to Babylon.
