1410. Gad
Strong's Lexicon
Gad: Gad

Original Word: גָּד
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Gad
Pronunciation: gahd
Phonetic Spelling: (gawd)
Definition: Gad
Meaning: Gad

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גּוּד (gud), meaning "to invade" or "to overcome."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "Gad" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and history.

Usage: In the Bible, "Gad" primarily refers to two distinct entities: one of the twelve tribes of Israel and a son of Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The name "Gad" is often associated with fortune or good luck, as seen in Genesis 30:11, where Leah exclaims, "What good fortune!" upon his birth.

Cultural and Historical Background: Gad was the seventh son of Jacob and the firstborn of Zilpah. The tribe of Gad settled on the east side of the Jordan River, in a region known for its fertile land and strategic location. This tribe was known for its valiant warriors and played a significant role in the military campaigns of Israel. The land allotted to Gad was ideal for livestock, which was a primary occupation of the tribe.
