Exegesis
The adverb gam {גַם | gam} combined with the dual construct šnē·hēm {שְׁנֵיהֶם | šnē·hēm} expresses the totality of the two elements. In English, preserving the parallel participial phrases maintains the Hebrew balance, while the em dash underscores the causal link to divine creation.
In context — Proverbs 20:12
The hearing ear and the seeing eye—the LORD made them both .
