And he placed his cloak in the middle, and uncovered from his two legs, and let them both hang down in the well.

وَدَلَّاهُمَا and let them both hang down

The wa- ('and') links the next action; the verb 'let hang' carries an attached DUAL object 'them both', referring to the two legs. So 'and he let both of them dangle' is one word plus its conjunction.
