Strong's Lexicon gebul: Boundary, border, territory, limit Original Word: גְּבוּל Word Origin: From the root verb גָּבַל (gabal), meaning "to set bounds" or "to border." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ὅριον (horion) - Strong's Greek 3725: Refers to a boundary or limit, often used in the New Testament to describe territorial borders. Usage: The Hebrew word "gebul" primarily refers to a boundary or border, often used in the context of defining the territorial limits of a land, tribe, or nation. It can also denote the concept of limits or boundaries in a more abstract sense, such as moral or ethical boundaries. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, boundaries were crucial for defining the inheritance of the tribes and families. The land was a divine gift, and its borders were established by God. Maintaining these boundaries was essential for preserving the identity and heritage of the people. The concept of boundaries also extended to social and religious practices, emphasizing the importance of order and separation in the community.
