H8382 H8382
to be paired, joined as twins; to bear twins; to be coupled together
A denominative verb from 'te'om' (twin), covering both architectural coupling and biological twinning. In Exodus, the tabernacle frames must be 'joined/twinned' at the bottom and complete at the top (Exod 26:24; 36:29) — a precise carpentry term for flush-paired boards. In the Song of Solomon, the beloved's teeth are compared to ewes 'bearing twins' (Song 4:2; 6:6), each tooth perfectly matched with its pair. Spanish captures both senses with 'completos/parejos' (complete/even) for the structural use and 'gemelos' (twins) for the pastoral image.
Senses
1. sense 1 — To be coupled or joined together as a matching pair, used of the tabernacle frames that must be flush-twinned at both bottom and top (Exod 26:24; 36:29). Spanish 'completos/parejos' and German 'schloss-sich-an' (joined together) reflect the architectural precision of boards perfectly aligned. The denominative origin from 'twin' emphasizes symmetrical pairing rather than mere attachment. 5×
