Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from גִּלְעָד (Gilead), a region east of the Jordan River.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the term "Gileadite" in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical and tribal identity unique to the Hebrew context. However, the concept of regional or tribal identity is present in various forms throughout the Greek New Testament, often translated in context rather than through a direct lexical equivalent.

Usage: The term "Gileadite" is used to describe individuals who are from the region of Gilead or are descendants of Gilead. It appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often identifying the tribal or regional affiliation of certain individuals.

Context: The term גִּלְעָדִי (Gil'adi) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote individuals associated with the region of Gilead, a mountainous area located east of the Jordan River. Gilead was known for its balm, a valuable resin used for medicinal purposes, and was a significant area in the tribal allotments of Israel, particularly associated with the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

Notable Gileadites in the Bible include Jephthah, a judge of Israel, who is described as a "Gileadite" in Judges 11:1: "Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute, and Gilead was his father." This highlights the tribal and familial connections that the term conveys.

The Gileadites are also mentioned in the context of tribal conflicts and alliances. For example, in Judges 12:4, the Gileadites are involved in a conflict with the Ephraimites: "Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. The men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they had said, 'You Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim, living in Ephraim and Manasseh.'"

The term underscores the importance of regional identity in the biblical narrative, reflecting the complex social and political landscape of ancient Israel.
