What does the Bible say about twins?
How awesome is God that He gives some people one blessing after another blessing. Below we will find out about twins in the Bible. There are some people in Scripture who might be twins even though Scripture doesn’t directly say it.

She said, “I have had a male child with the Lord’s help. Then she also gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel became a shepherd of flocks, but Cain worked the ground.
