Strong's Lexicon Geber: Man, strong man, warrior Original Word: גֶּבֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּבַר (gabar), meaning "to be strong" or "to prevail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Geber," the concept of a strong man or warrior can be related to Greek terms such as ἀνήρ (anēr, Strong's 435), which also denotes a man, often with an emphasis on masculinity or strength. Usage: The term "Geber" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a man, often with an emphasis on strength or valor. It is distinct from other Hebrew words for man, such as "ish" or "adam," by its connotation of might or warrior-like qualities. It can refer to a man in the prime of life, characterized by vigor and strength. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, strength and valor were highly valued traits, especially in the context of warfare and leadership. The term "Geber" reflects the cultural emphasis on physical prowess and the role of men as protectors and leaders within the community. This concept is rooted in the patriarchal structure of ancient Near Eastern societies, where men were often seen as the primary figures in public and familial roles.
