Strong's Lexicon Girgashi: Girgashite Original Word: גִּרְגָּשִׁי Word Origin: Derived from the root גִּרְגָּשׁ (Girgash), possibly of uncertain origin. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Girgashites in the New Testament, as the focus shifts from the specific Canaanite tribes to broader themes of spiritual conquest and the spread of the Gospel. Usage: The term "Girgashi" refers to the Girgashites, one of the ancient Canaanite tribes mentioned in the Bible. They are often listed among the nations that inhabited the land of Canaan before the Israelites' conquest under Joshua. Cultural and Historical Background: The Girgashites were one of the seven nations residing in Canaan during the time of the Israelite conquest. The Canaanites, including the Girgashites, were known for their polytheistic practices and idolatry, which were in direct opposition to the monotheistic worship of Yahweh by the Israelites. The presence of these nations in Canaan posed both a spiritual and military challenge to the Israelites, as they were commanded by God to drive out the inhabitants to avoid being led astray by their practices.
