The meaning of Couple in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)kup'-l:
(1) Used as a noun, indicates two objects of the same kind that are considered together. Thus we read of a couple of cakes (II Samuel 13:6, used loosely), and a couple of asses (II Samuel 16:1, Hebrew tsemedh).
(2) Used as a verb, it means to join or fasten one thing to another. This term occurs most frequently in the description of the tabernacle (see Exodus 26:6, Exodus 26:9, Exodus 26:11; Exodus 36:10, Exodus 36:13, Exodus 36:16). Couple is used in I Peter 3:2 to describe the joining of fear to chaste behavior (Hebrew chabhar) .
