Strong's Lexicon kephel: Double, fold Original Word: כֶּפֶל Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to fold together Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of doubling can be related to Greek terms such as διπλόω (diplóō - Strong's Greek 1362), which also means to double or multiply. Usage: The Hebrew word "kephel" primarily denotes the concept of "double" or "fold." It is used to describe something that is doubled or folded over, often in the context of measurement or quantity. This term can imply an increase or multiplication of what is being described. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of doubling was significant in various contexts, including legal, economic, and ritual practices. Doubling could imply a form of restitution or compensation, as seen in the laws of the Torah where a thief might be required to repay double. It also appears in descriptions of wealth and blessings, where abundance is expressed through the idea of doubling.
