So if someone were to say regarding his return to the outlet into which it was poured, there would be no difference between this and that statement, and it would not be more appropriate than it.

وَبَيْنَ and that

This joins 'and' to a second 'between', 'and between', supplying the second slot the preposition 'between' requires. Arabic often repeats 'between' for the second item, so this pairs with the earlier one to frame 'between it and this'.

وَبَيْنَ and between

This pairs an attached 'and' with a repeated 'between', the form Arabic uses to name the second party of a 'between X and Y' pair, so the connector and preposition come as one unit. The repeated 'between' is required before the second side. It links 'me' to the figure named next.

أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا وَهُوَ أَحْمَقُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ،

There is no one among people who is not foolish about what lies between him and God, the Exalted and Majestic.

وَبَيَّنَ and between

The wa- coordinates a second 'between' to complete the 'between him and...' span, naming the other pole. Arabic repeats 'between' on each side rather than saying it once, so this restates the preposition for the second party. It forces the divine name that follows into the (genitive).

وبيين and between

This stacks the connector wa- onto a second 'between', completing the 'between me and...' frame that 'between' requires. Arabic repeats 'between' before each party, so the wa- joins her side to his within the same span.
