Strong's Lexicon Gereshon or Gereshom: Gershon or Gershom Original Word: גֵּרְשׁוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּרַשׁ (garash), meaning "to drive out" or "to expel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Gershon or Gershom in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Γηρσών (Gersōn). Usage: The name Gershon or Gershom is traditionally understood to mean "exile" or "a stranger there." It is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to individuals who are part of the Levitical lineage, specifically the descendants of Levi through his son Gershon. Cultural and Historical Background: Gershon is recognized as the firstborn son of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob (Israel). The Gershonites, his descendants, were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, who were assigned specific duties related to the tabernacle during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. The Gershonites were responsible for the care of the tabernacle's curtains, coverings, and other fabric-related components (Numbers 3:25-26).
