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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3717.htm">kaphal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the double<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>double (2), two sides (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כֶּ֫פֶל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>the double</b></font>: — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כ</font> construct: <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּכ</font> <font class="hebrew2">רִסְנוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/41-5.htm">Job 41:5</a> <em>within the double of his jaw</em> (i.e. his double jaws) who can come ? elsewhere dual <font class="hebrew2">כִּפְלַיִם</font> (compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb049509.gif">), <font class="hebrew2">לְתוּשִׁיָּה</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/11-6.htm">Job 11:6</a> <em>double</em> in sound wisdom (beyond what Job imagines), of retribution <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/40-2.htm">Isaiah 40:2</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>double <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3717.htm">kaphal</a>;
