Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Aramaic; corresponding to the Hebrew word שְׁנַיִם (shenayim)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G1417 (δύο, duo): The Greek numeral for "two," used throughout the New Testament in various contexts, such as in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them."

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of counting or denoting the number two. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra.

Context: The term תְּרֵין (terēn) is an Aramaic numeral used in the Old Testament to signify the number two. It is primarily found in the Aramaic sections of the Bible, which include parts of the books of Daniel and Ezra. In these texts, תְּרֵין is used in various contexts, such as describing quantities, sequences, or pairs. For example, in Daniel 5:25, the term is part of the inscription "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN," where it is interpreted as "numbered" or "counted," indicating a divine judgment. The use of Aramaic in these books reflects the historical and cultural context of the Jewish people during the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian period, where Aramaic was a common lingua franca. The term תְּרֵין is equivalent to the Hebrew שְׁנַיִם (shenayim), which also means "two."
