Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name גֵּישָׁן (Geshan), as it is a specific proper noun found in the Old Testament genealogies without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: The name Geshan appears in genealogical records within the Old Testament, specifically in the context of family lineages.

Context: Geshan is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 2:47, Geshan is listed as one of the descendants of Caleb, a prominent figure in the tribe of Judah. The passage reads: "The sons of Jahdai: Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph." This brief mention situates Geshan within the broader context of the tribal and familial structures that are significant in the narrative of Israel's history. The genealogies in Chronicles serve to establish the heritage and lineage of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people through successive generations.
