COUPLE

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 (2 Samuel 13:6, used loosely), and a couple of asses (2 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, 9, 11; Exodus 36:10, 13, 16). Couple is used in 1 Peter 3:2 to describe the joining of fear to chaste behavior (Hebrew chabhar).

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (a.) That which joins or links two things together; a bond or tie; a coupler.

2. (a.) Two of the same kind connected or considered together; a pair; a brace.

3. (n.) A male and female associated together; esp., a man and woman who are married or betrothed.
