Strong's Lexicon Gereshom: Gershom Original Word: גֵּרְשׁם Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּרַשׁ (garash), meaning "to drive out" or "to expel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Gershom in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of being a "stranger" or "foreigner" can be related to Greek terms like ξένος (xenos, G3581), meaning "stranger" or "foreigner." Usage: Gershom is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "a stranger there" or "expulsion." It reflects the experience of being a sojourner or foreigner, often associated with Moses' time in Midian. Cultural and Historical Background: Gershom is notably the firstborn son of Moses and Zipporah, born during Moses' exile in Midian. His name reflects Moses' sense of being a foreigner in a strange land, as expressed in Exodus 2:22: "I have become a foreigner in a foreign land." Gershom's life and identity are tied to the broader narrative of the Israelites' journey from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land, symbolizing themes of displacement and divine purpose.
