Genesis 25:24
וַ יִּמְלְאוּ יָמֶיהָ לָ לֶדֶת וְ הִנֵּה תֹומִם בְּ בִטְנָהּ
And her days to bear are being filled, and behold, double-ones864 are in her womb.
| 864 | Taomim – Double Ones Strong’s #8380. Taomim. The word taom means double (like a curtain is folded/doubled over in Ex. 26:24. The root verb properly means to be complete and thus is used of a single curtain folded and the breasts (twins of a gazelle) of the bride in Song of Songs. This would seem to infer that a complete whole is made up of something doubled. I.e double-edged sword. It is only found in the plural and thus should be rendered doubles or double-ones. |
