Two
The number "two" has two different meanings in the Bible. In most cases "two" indicates a joining together or unification. This is easy to see if we consider the conflicts we tend to have between our "hearts" and our "heads" -- between what we want and what we know. Our "hearts" tell us that we want pie with ice cream for dinner; our "heads" tell us we should have grilled chicken and salad. If we can bring those two together and actually want what's good for us, we'll be pretty happy. We're built that way -- with our emotions balanced against our intellect -- because the Lord is built that way. His essence is love itself, or Divine Love, the source of all caring, emotion and energy. It is expressed as Divine Wisdom, which gives form to that love and puts it to work, and is the source of all knowledge and reasoning. In His case the two aspects are always in conjunction, always in harmony. It's easy also to see how that duality is reflected throughout creation: plants and animals, food and drink, silver and gold. Most importantly, it's reflected in the two genders, with women representing love and men representing wisdom. That's the underlying reason why conjunction in marriage is such a holy thing. So when "two" is used in the Bible to indicate some sort of pairing or unity, it means a joining together. In rare cases, however, "two" is used more purely as a number. In these cases it stands for a profane or unholy state that comes before a holy one. This is because "three" represents a state of holiness and completion (Jesus, for instance, rose from the tomb on the third day), and "two" represents the state just before it.
创世记 11
2
他们往东边迁移的时候,在示拿地遇见一片平原,就住在那里。
3
他们彼此商量说:来罢!我们要作砖,把砖烧透了。他们就拿砖当石头,又拿石漆当灰泥。
4
他们说:来罢!我们要建造一座城和一座塔,塔顶通天,为要传扬我们的名,免得我们分散在全地上。
6
耶和华说:看哪,他们成为一样的人民,都是一样的言语,如今既作起这事来,以後他们所要作的事就没有不成就的了。
8
於是耶和华使他们从那里分散在全地上;他们就停工,不造那城了。
9
因为耶和华在那里变乱天下人的言语,使众人分散在全地上,所以那城名叫巴别(就是变乱的意思)。
27
他拉的後代记在下面。他拉生亚伯兰、拿鹤、哈兰;哈兰生罗得。

30
撒莱不生育,没有孩子。
31
