Usage: Gederoth is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a town in the territory of Judah. The name likely means "walls" or "enclosures," suggesting a fortified or enclosed area.

Cultural and Historical Background: Gederoth was situated in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah. This area was known for its agricultural productivity and strategic importance due to its location between the coastal plains and the hill country of Judah. The Shephelah served as a buffer zone against Philistine incursions, and towns like Gederoth were often fortified to protect against such threats.
