Strong's Lexicon kaphal: To double, to fold, to repeat Original Word: כָּפַל Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: kaphal Pronunciation: kah-fahl Phonetic Spelling: (kaw-fal') Definition: to fold together, to repeat Meaning: To fold together, to repeat Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1362 • διπλόω (diplóō): This Greek term is related to the concept of doubling or folding, similar to the Hebrew כָּפַל. It is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of making something double or to repeat an action. The connection between these terms highlights the shared linguistic and thematic elements across the Hebrew and Greek biblical texts, particularly in the context of repetition and emphasis. Usage: The verb כָּפַל is used in the context of folding or doubling, and by extension, it can imply the act of repeating or doing something again. Context: The Hebrew root כָּפַל (kafal) is a primitive verb that primarily conveys the action of folding or doubling. This term is not frequently encountered in the Hebrew Bible, but its conceptual implications are significant in understanding actions that involve repetition or duplication. The act of folding can be seen as a metaphor for repeating or doing something again, which is a common theme in various biblical narratives and teachings. In biblical literature, the notion of repetition or doubling can be associated with emphasis or confirmation. For instance, when something is repeated, it often serves to underscore its importance or to ensure that it is firmly established. This can be seen in various scriptural contexts where repetition is used for emphasis or to convey certainty. The concept of folding, as implied by כָּפַל, can also be related to the idea of bringing things together or making them compact, which can have both literal and figurative applications in biblical texts. While the specific occurrences of כָּפַל in the Hebrew Bible are limited, the underlying themes of repetition and emphasis are pervasive throughout the scriptures.
