Exegesis
Finally, the repeated conjunction-preposition u-min-harimmonim u-min-hate'enim {וּמִן־הָרִמֹּנִים וּמִן־הַתְּאֵנִֽים | ummi-rimmonîm ummi-te’enîm} ‘and from the pomegranates and from the figs’ completes the list. The syntactic pattern of waw-consecutives, construct noun phrases, and the use of the dual underline the scouts’ remarkable gathering, which is rendered in English by explicit clauses and clear listing.
