A paired offspring in a multiple birth event, specifically 'twin' or 'twins,' referring to one or both of two children born of the same pregnancy; can also denote a figurative or symbolic pair, especially when used more abstractly. In biblical usage almost always denotes biological twins, but context can suggest a pair or double in a more general sense.
