Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּזַז (gāzaz), meaning "to shear" or "to cut off."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew גָּזַּה (gāzzāh) in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of a fleece is more culturally and contextually specific to the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the Greek word "πρόβατον" (probaton), meaning "sheep," is related in the sense that it refers to the animal from which a fleece is obtained. Usage: The term גָּזַּה is used in the context of shearing sheep and refers to the fleece or wool that is obtained from this process. Context: The Hebrew word גָּזַּה (gāzzāh) appears in the context of the ancient practice of sheep shearing, a significant agricultural activity in biblical times. The fleece, or wool, was a valuable commodity, used for making garments and other textiles. In the Bible, the fleece is notably mentioned in the story of Gideon, who used a fleece to seek confirmation from God regarding his mission to save Israel from the Midianites. In Judges 6:37-40 (BSB), Gideon places a fleece on the threshing floor and asks God for a sign, first requesting that dew appear only on the fleece while the ground remains dry, and then the reverse. This narrative highlights the fleece as a symbol of divine communication and assurance.
