The name Thomas itself reflects the cultural and linguistic exchange between Hebrew and Greek traditions in the biblical narrative.

The most notable occurrence is in Genesis 25:24, where Rebekah gives birth to Esau and Jacob, described as twins. The narrative highlights the significance of twins in the biblical context, often associated with themes of rivalry, destiny, and divine purpose.
