Strong's Lexicon Gatam: Gatam Original Word: גַּעְתָּם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to press; possibly related to the Hebrew word גַּת (gat), meaning "winepress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Gatam, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogies. Usage: Gatam is a personal name found in the genealogies of the Bible. It is associated with one of the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. The name may imply a connection to a place of pressing, such as a winepress, which could suggest a location or occupation related to agriculture or viticulture. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character, occupation, or the circumstances of their birth. Gatam, as a descendant of Esau, is part of the Edomite lineage. The Edomites were a group of people who lived in the region south of the Dead Sea and were often in conflict with the Israelites. Understanding the genealogies of Esau's descendants provides insight into the complex relationships and tensions between the Edomites and the Israelites.
