Strong's Lexicon Geder: Geder Original Word: גֶּדֶר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּדַר (gadar), meaning "to wall up" or "to build a wall." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Geder in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Geder is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a city in the territory of Judah. The name itself suggests a fortified or walled city, reflecting its likely role as a defensive or protected settlement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cities were often fortified with walls for protection against invaders. The name Geder, meaning "wall" or "enclosure," indicates its strategic importance. Judah, where Geder was located, was a significant region in biblical history, known for its central role in the narrative of the Israelites and its association with the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended.
