Just take a quick look at these scriptures. Notice, they are in pairs (and about pairs).
Deu 19:15 MKJV
(15) One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be made sure.
Mat 18:16 MKJV
(16) But if he will not hear you, take one or two more with you, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Mat 18:20 ASV
(20) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Pro 27:17 ESV
(17) Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
Gen 2:18 MKJV
(18) And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.
Joh 15:26 ESV
(26) "But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
Maybe this opens up a world of implications for you as it did for me. For instance... where two or more are gathered in MY name, there is 'establishment'. There I am - says Jesus. Deuteronomy 19:15 says that on the testimony of two or more, we will consider the matter as 'truth'. Jesus says when two or more of you are gathered in MY name, I will be there - the TRUTH.
Gen 1:16 MKJV
(16) And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night, and the stars also.
The lesser light is a reflection of the greater. It 'bears witness' that there is a greater light when the greater light cannot be seen. This is why the moon is symbolic of the church, or spiritual Israel. This concept is so prevalent in scripture that a books could be written.

The Great Commission in Torah
Gen 2:18
(18) And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.
Gen 1:28
(28) And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.
God created the world to be ruled, ordered, and guarded by man. But in itself the commission was too great for only Adam. The animals were going to multiply.
Mar 16:15
(15) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
"Go forth and multiply."
Luk 10:1-2
(1) After this, the Lord appointed 70 other disciples to go ahead of him to every city and place that he intended to go. They were to travel in pairs.
(2) He told them, "The harvest is large, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord who gives this harvest to send workers to harvest his crops.
Although we may have a ministry partner, it's not our union with that partner that is bringing forth this fruit. That has already been accomplished with our union to Jesus. It is our relationship with Him that brings forth the fruit of the kingdom. That is why we must abide in Him, and co-labor with Him, for it is not good that we are alone.
"I will make a helper suitable for him."
Joh 14:26
(26) "But the Counselor [or, Helper], the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, that One will teach you* all [things] and will cause you* to remember all [things] which I said to you*.
(18) And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.
