Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַל (gabal), meaning "to set bounds" or "to border."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 3725: ὁρίον (horion) • meaning "boundary" or "border." Usage: The term גְּבוּלָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the physical boundaries of a land or territory. It is often used in the context of describing the borders of the Promised Land or the territories allotted to the tribes of Israel. Context: גְּבוּלָה (gebulah) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, primarily in the Pentateuch and historical books. It is frequently used in the delineation of the land of Canaan, as seen in passages such as Numbers 34:2, where God instructs Moses on the boundaries of the land to be inherited by the Israelites: "Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries." The term is also used in Joshua 13-21, where the specific territories assigned to each tribe are described in detail. The concept of boundaries is significant in the biblical narrative, symbolizing not only physical space but also the divine order and the covenantal promise of land to the descendants of Abraham. The boundaries serve as a reminder of God's provision and the importance of maintaining the distinct identity and inheritance of each tribe within the nation of Israel.
