Mercha kefula (מֵרְכָא כּפוּלָ֦ה, with variant English spellings) is a rare cantillation mark that occurs 5 times in the Torah (once in Genesis, once in Exodus, once in Leviticus, and twice in Numbers) and once in the Haftarah (for Behaalotecha and for the intermediate Shabbat for Chanukah, in the Book of Zechariah.) The Hebrew words מֵרְכָא כּפוּלָ֦ה translate into English as double mercha. This name is given since the mark that is used appears like two merchas. PurposeDr. David Weisberg suggested[1] that the merkha kefula mark is found on words that refer to an aggadic tale. For instance, he claimed[1] that the merkha kefula of {{bibleverse||Zechariah|3:2|HE}} is meant to remind the reader of the aggadic legend that the high priest Joshua was literally thrown into a furnace (as recorded in the {{cite Talmud|b|Sanhedrin||93a}}). OccurrencesThe Merkha kefula mark appears in the following locations in the Torah:
It also occurs in the Haftarah at {{bibleverse||Zechariah|3:2|HE}}, read on the intermediate Shabbat for Chanukah and for Parashat Behaalotecha. Total occurrences
