Exegesis
The attention particle idou {ἰδοὺ | i-doù} heightens focus on what follows, while machairai {μάχαιραι | má-khai-rai} serves as the subject, modified by the adverb hode {ὧδε | hô-de} “here” and the numeral dyo {δύο | dú-o} “two,” giving both location and quantity.
In context — Luke 22:38
And they said, “Lord , look, here are two swords .” And He said to them, “It is enough.”
