Strong's Lexicon gud: To invade, attack, overcome Original Word: גּוּד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of overcoming or prevailing can be related to Greek terms such as νικάω (nikao - Strong's Greek 3528), which means to conquer or overcome. Usage: The Hebrew verb "gud" primarily conveys the action of invading or attacking, often in a military context. It can also imply overcoming or prevailing against an opponent. This term is used to describe aggressive actions, typically in the context of warfare or conflict. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, warfare was a common aspect of life, and the ability to invade or overcome enemies was crucial for the survival and expansion of a nation. The Israelites, like other ancient peoples, often found themselves in situations where they had to defend their land or assert their dominance over others. The concept of "gud" would have been well understood in this milieu, reflecting the realities of territorial disputes and the need for military prowess.
