Strong's Lexicon dis: Twice Original Word: δὶς Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: dis Pronunciation: dees Phonetic Spelling: (dece) Definition: twice, entirely, utterly. Meaning: The Greek adverb δὶς means "twice" or "two times." Word Origin: A primary numeral, akin to the base of δίς (dis), meaning "twice." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek adverb δὶς, the concept of "twice" or "two times" can be found in various Hebrew terms that denote repetition or duality, such as שְׁנַיִם (shenayim, Strong's Hebrew 8147), which means "two." However, the specific adverbial form used in Greek does not have a direct one-to-one correspondence in Hebrew. Usage: The term δὶς is used in the New Testament to indicate an action or event occurring two times. It is a straightforward numerical adverb that emphasizes repetition or dual occurrence. Context: The Greek adverb δὶς appears in the New Testament to denote the concept of "twice" or "two times." This term is used to emphasize the repetition of an action or event, often highlighting its significance or the need for confirmation. In the Berean Standard Bible, δὶς is used in contexts where the repetition of an action is noteworthy, such as in the recounting of events or instructions. For example, in Philippians 4:16, the Apostle Paul writes, "For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again." Here, the use of δὶς underscores the repeated generosity of the Philippians. Similarly, in Hebrews 9:27, it is stated, "Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment," contrasting the singularity of death with the repeated sacrifices of the Old Covenant, which are implied to occur more than once. The use of δὶς in the New Testament serves to draw attention to the importance of the actions described, whether they be acts of kindness, ritual practices, or significant events. It is a term that, while simple, carries weight in its ability to highlight the importance of repetition in the biblical narrative.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1364: δίς δίς, adverb (Curtius, § 277; from Homer down), twice: Mark 14:30, 72; δίς τοῦ σαββάτου twice in the week, Luke 18:12; καί ἅπαξ καί δίς (see ἅπαξ, c.), Philippians 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:18. In the phrase δίς ἀποθανόντα, Jude 1:12, δίς is not equivalent to completely, absolutely; but the figure is so adjusted to the fact, that men are represented as twice dead in a moral sense, first as not having yet been regenerated, and secondly as having fallen from a state of grace; see ἀποθνῄσκω, I. 4; (but compare the various interpretations as given in (Meyer) Huther or in Schaff's Lange (Fronm.) at the passage In the Babylonian Talmud (Ber. 10 a.) we read, 'Thou art dead here below, and thou shalt have no part in the life to come'].
