Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun גֶּדֶר (Geder), as it is a specific place name unique to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of a "wall" or "enclosure" can be related to Greek terms such as τείχος (teichos), meaning "wall," though this is not a direct translation of the place name.

Usage: Geder is used in the context of a place name in the Hebrew Bible. It is mentioned as a city in the territory of Judah.

Context: Geder is identified as a city located in the lowland region of Judah. It is listed among the cities in the inheritance of the tribe of Judah. The mention of Geder is found in the context of the allotment of land to the tribes of Israel, specifically in the Book of Joshua. In Joshua 12:13, Geder is noted as one of the cities whose king was defeated by Joshua during the conquest of Canaan. The exact location of Geder is not definitively known today, but it is considered to be part of the Shephelah, the lowland region between the central highlands and the coastal plain.
