Could anyone tell me why the Hebrew word (Strong's no. 06672) tsohar {tso'-har} Batsaaraim translated "noon" (singular) is plural in the Hebrew texts? Isn't this the dual form of plural, meaning "two noons", If so, what are the two noons?

Example: Devarim 28:29

Any help Appreciated ________________________ Carroll
