Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from גֵּרְשׁוֹן (Gershon), the firstborn son of Levi.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Gereshuni" as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a Levitical family. However, the Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to refer to the descendants of Gershon in the context of Levitical duties. Usage: The term "Gereshuni" refers to the descendants of Gershon, one of the three main Levitical families. The Gereshonites were responsible for specific duties related to the tabernacle during the Israelites' wilderness journey. Context: The Gereshonites, as descendants of Gershon, the eldest son of Levi, held a significant role among the Levitical clans. According to the biblical narrative, the Gereshonites were entrusted with the care of the tabernacle's fabrics, including the curtains, coverings, and screens (Numbers 3:25-26). Their duties were crucial for the assembly and disassembly of the tabernacle as the Israelites moved through the wilderness. The Gereshonites camped on the west side of the tabernacle, and their leader during the wilderness period was Eliasaph, son of Lael (Numbers 3:23-24). In the division of the land, the Gereshonites received cities in the territories of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Manasseh in Bashan (Joshua 21:6, 27-33). Their service and responsibilities highlight the organized structure of Levitical duties and the importance of maintaining the sacred space of worship for the Israelites.
