Read Ecclesiastes 4:12. It was dangerous for anyone to travel alone, day or night; most people traveled in groups for fellowship and for safety. Solomon started with the number one (v. 8), then moved to two (v. 9), and then closed with three (v. 12). This is typical of Hebrew literature (Proverbs 6:16; Amos 1:3, 6, 9, etc.). One cord could be broken easily; two cords would require more strength; but three cords woven together could not be easily broken. If two travelers are better than one, then three would fare even better. Solomon had more than numbers in mind; he was also thinking of the unity involved in three cords woven together—that is an awesome picture of friendship! Ask God to show you a group that will fit your needs this semester.
