Strong's Lexicon gay: Valley Original Word: גַּיְא Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: gay' Pronunciation: gah'-ee Phonetic Spelling: (gah'-ee) Definition: a gorge Meaning: A gorge, valley, or ravine. Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be depressed or low. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1093 (γῆ, gē): Often translated as "earth" or "land," this term can refer to the physical ground or territory, similar to how גַּיְא (gai') refers to a specific type of landform. • G5327 (φαράγξ, pharags): Meaning "ravine" or "gorge," this term closely aligns with the concept of גַּיְא (gai') as a narrow valley or gorge. • G1067 (γέεννα, geenna): While primarily referring to "Gehenna" or the "Valley of Hinnom," a place associated with judgment and punishment, it shares the concept of a valley with גַּיְא (gai'). In summary, גַּיְא (gai') is a versatile term in the Hebrew Bible, used to describe valleys and gorges with both literal and symbolic meanings, often highlighting themes of judgment, protection, and divine presence. Usage: The term גַּיְא (gai') is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a valley or gorge, often with a focus on its geographical or topographical features. It is frequently used to denote a low-lying area between hills or mountains, sometimes with a connotation of desolation or danger. Context: The Hebrew word גַּיְא (gai') appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often highlighting the physical characteristics of the landscape. It is used to describe both literal and metaphorical valleys. For instance, in the context of battle or judgment, valleys can symbolize places of decision or confrontation. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated as "valley" or "gorge," depending on the context. Notable occurrences include: • Joshua 8:11: "And all the fighting men who were with him went up and drew near the city, and camped on the north side of Ai, with a valley between them and the city." • 1 Samuel 17:3: "The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them." • Psalm 23:4: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." The term is also used in prophetic literature to describe eschatological events, such as in the "Valley of Jehoshaphat" (Joel 3:2) where God will judge the nations.
