Word Origin: Derived from the root גבל (gabal), meaning "to border" or "to bound."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for boundary-related terms is ὅριον (horion), Strong's Greek #3725, which also means "boundary" or "limit."

Usage: The term "gabluth" refers to a boundary or border, often used in the context of defining the territorial limits of a land or property. In the biblical context, it signifies the divinely ordained borders of the Promised Land or the delineation of tribal territories within Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, boundaries were significant for maintaining order and ensuring the fair distribution of land among the tribes. The concept of boundaries was not only practical but also held spiritual significance, as the land was considered a divine inheritance from God. The setting of boundaries was often marked by physical landmarks and was a matter of legal and communal importance.
