He said, "Gouge out your two eyes, or everything you own."
أفقؤهما — gouge them out. A command form, 'gouge!', with a dual object pronoun '-huma' (the two of them) attached, matching the two eyes. The verb carries its 'you' subject inside and its object on its tail. Arabic again uses a special 'exactly two' pronoun to keep the count consistent across the sentence.
