Berean Strong's Lexicon gabal: To bound, border, set bounds Original Word: גָּבַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent conceptually related to setting boundaries might include terms like "ὁρίζω" (horizo, Strong's Greek 3724), which means to determine or appoint, often used in the context of setting limits or boundaries. Usage: The Hebrew verb "gabal" primarily means to set boundaries or borders. It is used in the context of defining or marking out territories, whether physical land or metaphorical limits. This term emphasizes the act of delineating or establishing limits, often in a legal or formal sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land was a critical component of identity, inheritance, and sustenance. The act of setting boundaries was not only a practical necessity for defining property but also a deeply spiritual act, as the land was considered a divine gift from God. Boundaries ensured peace and order among tribes and families, preventing disputes and maintaining harmony. The concept of boundaries also extended to moral and spiritual realms, where God's laws set the limits for righteous living.
