Strong's Lexicon Gibath: Hill, Height Original Word: גִּבְעַת Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַע (gābaʿ), meaning "to be high" or "to rise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "hill" is ὄρος (oros), Strong's Greek #3735, which also means mountain or hill. Usage: The term "Gibath" refers to a hill or elevated area. In the biblical context, it often denotes a physical location that is raised above the surrounding terrain. Hills were significant in ancient Israel for various reasons, including strategic military advantages, religious practices, and as landmarks. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hills and high places were often associated with worship and religious activities. They were seen as closer to the divine realm, and thus, many altars and places of worship were established on hills. The topography of the land of Israel, with its numerous hills and valleys, made these locations prominent in both daily life and spiritual practices.
