Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַר (gāḇar), meaning "to be strong" or "to prevail."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent of גְּבִיר in the Septuagint and the New Testament is often the word κύριος (G2962), which is translated as "lord" or "master." This term is used extensively in the New Testament to refer to Jesus Christ as Lord, as well as to denote authority figures in various parables and teachings. The use of κύριος underscores the continuity of the concept of lordship and authority from the Hebrew Scriptures into the Greek New Testament context.

Usage: The word גְּבִיר is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a person who holds a position of power or authority, often in a familial or societal context. It is used to describe someone who has control or dominion over others.

Context: • The term גְּבִיר appears in several contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with authority and dominion. It is used to describe figures who hold significant power, whether in a household or a broader societal structure.
• In Genesis 27:29, Isaac blesses Jacob, saying, "May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. Be master over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you." Here, גְּבִיר is used to convey the authority Jacob is to have over his siblings.
• The term also appears in Genesis 27:37, where Isaac tells Esau, "Behold, I have made him master over you and all his relatives; I have given him as servants." This further emphasizes the concept of dominion and leadership inherent in the term.
• גְּבִיר is not limited to familial contexts but can extend to broader societal roles, indicating a person of high status or leadership.
