Strong's Lexicon gezer: Portion, part, division Original Word: גֶּזֶר Word Origin: From the root גָּזַר (gazar), meaning "to cut" or "to divide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of division or portion is "μέρος" (meros), Strong's Greek #3313, which also means "part" or "portion." Usage: The Hebrew word "gezer" primarily refers to a "portion" or "part" of something, often used in the context of dividing land or property. It can also imply a "section" or "division" in a more abstract sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land division was a significant aspect of societal structure, as land ownership determined wealth, inheritance, and social status. The concept of dividing land into portions was central to the Israelites' understanding of God's promises, particularly in the allocation of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The term "gezer" reflects this cultural importance of land division and inheritance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom gazar Definition part NASB Translation asunder (1), pieces (1).
