Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: גַּת (Gath), meaning "winepress," and רִמּוֹן (Rimmon), meaning "pomegranate."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Gath-rimmon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and culture.

Usage: Gath-rimmon is a compound name meaning "winepress of the pomegranate." It refers to a Levitical city allocated to the Kohathite clan within the tribe of Dan, and later mentioned as part of the territory of Manasseh.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cities were often named for their geographical features or agricultural products. The name Gath-rimmon suggests a location known for its wine production and pomegranate cultivation, both significant in the agrarian society of ancient Israel. As a Levitical city, Gath-rimmon was designated for the Levites, who were responsible for religious duties and temple service, and it provided them with a place to live and sustain themselves.
