Strong's Lexicon gederah or gedereth: Wall, enclosure, sheepfold Original Word: גְּדֵרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּדַר (gadar), meaning "to wall in" or "to build a wall." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "gederah" or "gedereth," the concept of a wall or enclosure can be related to Greek terms such as "τείχος" (teichos - G5038), meaning "wall." Usage: The Hebrew words "gederah" and "gedereth" refer to a physical structure used as a boundary or enclosure. In biblical contexts, these terms are often associated with sheepfolds or protective walls that enclose and safeguard livestock or property. The concept of a "wall" or "enclosure" is symbolic of protection, separation, and security. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, walls and enclosures were vital for the protection of livestock and property. Shepherds would use stone walls or hedges to create sheepfolds, providing a safe space for their flocks during the night. These structures were essential in a pastoral society where livestock represented wealth and sustenance. The imagery of walls and enclosures also carried spiritual significance, symbolizing God's protection and the boundaries of His covenant with Israel.
