Strong's Lexicon gebulah: Boundary, border, territory Original Word: גְּבוּלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַל (gabal), meaning "to set bounds" or "to border." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3725 (ὅριον, horion) - boundary, border, region - G3313 (μέρος, meros) - part, portion, share Usage: The term "gebulah" refers to a boundary or border, often used in the context of defining the territorial limits of a land or property. It is frequently employed in the Hebrew Bible to describe the borders of the Promised Land as allocated to the tribes of Israel. The concept of boundaries is significant in the biblical narrative, symbolizing God's provision and the inheritance given to His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land was a critical component of identity and sustenance. The division of land among the tribes was not only a practical matter but also a fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. Boundaries were marked and respected, serving as a testament to God's faithfulness and the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The delineation of land also had legal and social implications, as it determined inheritance rights and tribal affiliations.
