Exegesis
The emphatic particle gam {גַּם | gam} ‘also’ with shenehem {שְׁנֵיהֶם | šənêhêm} ‘both of them’ functions as a resumptive clause that inclusively binds both practices under judgment. The English translations render this explicit through the phrase “both of them” and convey the intensifier “also” to reflect the Hebrew emphasis.
In context — Proverbs 20:10
Stone and stone, ephah and ephah—both of them are an abomination to the LORD .
