Strong's Lexicon Gederah: Gederah Original Word: גְּדֵרָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּדַר (gadar), meaning "to wall up" or "to build a wall." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Gederah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Gederah is a proper noun referring to a town in the territory of Judah. The name itself suggests a place that is enclosed or fortified, likely indicating a settlement with defensive walls or boundaries. Cultural and Historical Background: Gederah was located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah. This area was known for its agricultural productivity and strategic importance due to its position between the coastal plains and the central highlands. The Shephelah served as a buffer zone against Philistine incursions, and towns like Gederah would have been significant in maintaining the security and economic stability of the region.
