Strong's Lexicon gizzah: Fleece Original Word: גָּזַּה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּזַז (gazaz), meaning "to shear" or "to cut off." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4166 (ποιμήν, poimēn) - Shepherd, which relates to the care of sheep and indirectly to the shearing and use of fleece. Usage: The term "gizzah" refers to the fleece of a sheep, specifically the wool that is shorn from the animal. In the biblical context, it is often associated with the account of Gideon, where the fleece is used as a sign from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sheep were a vital part of the agrarian economy, providing wool, meat, and milk. The shearing of sheep was a significant event, marking a time of harvest for wool. Fleece, therefore, was not only a practical commodity but also held symbolic meaning, often representing provision and blessing.
