Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

two years		"Houbigant proposes to read shesh shanah, ""six years"" instead of shetayim shanim, ""two years,"" of the text, which he contends is a solecism; for, in pure Hebrew, the words should be shetayim shanah; and this is the reading of twenty MSS.; but two is acknowledged by all the versions and MSS. yet collated."
