Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to break forth.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for גִּיַחַ (Giach) as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The term גִּיַחַ (Giach) is used in the context of a geographical location or a proper name within the biblical narrative. It is not frequently mentioned, indicating a specific and possibly lesser-known reference.

Context: Giach is a term found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of genealogies or geographical listings. The name is derived from a root that suggests the idea of breaking forth, which may imply a place characterized by a spring or a burst of water. The exact identification of Giach is uncertain, and it is not widely referenced in biblical texts, suggesting it may have been a minor location or a name that has not been preserved in other historical records.
• The mention of Giach in the Bible is limited, and it does not play a significant role in the overarching biblical narrative. Its inclusion in genealogical or territorial lists indicates its relevance to the historical and cultural context of the time, serving as a marker of lineage or land division.
• The lack of additional historical or archaeological evidence makes it challenging to provide a more detailed description or to locate Giach with certainty in the modern geographical landscape.
