Strong's Lexicon duo: Two Original Word: δύο Word Origin: A primary numeral Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8147 שְׁנַיִם (shenayim): The Hebrew numeral for "two," used similarly in contexts requiring two witnesses or pairs. Usage: The Greek word "δύο" (duo) is a cardinal number meaning "two." It is used in the New Testament to denote a pair or couple, often signifying completeness or testimony, as two witnesses were required to establish a matter (Deuteronomy 19:15). Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish culture, the number two often symbolizes confirmation and agreement. The requirement for two witnesses in legal matters underscores the importance of corroboration. In the Greco-Roman world, the number two could also represent duality or balance, such as in the pairing of opposites.
