Berean Strong's Lexicon Gitti: Gittite Original Word: גִּתִּי Word Origin: Derived from גַּת (Gath), a Philistine city Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Gittite," as it is a specific term related to a Philistine city. However, the Greek term "Φιλιστιείμ" (Philistieim) refers to the Philistines in general. Usage: The term "Gitti" or "Gittite" refers to an inhabitant of Gath, one of the five principal cities of the Philistines. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who originate from this city, often highlighting their foreign status in Israelite narratives. Cultural and Historical Background: Gath was one of the major Philistine cities, known for its formidable warriors, including the giant Goliath. The Philistines were a significant presence in the coastal regions of Canaan during the Iron Age, often in conflict with the Israelites. The term "Gittite" thus carries connotations of being an outsider or foreigner, yet it also reflects the complex interactions between the Israelites and their neighbors, including periods of peace and cooperation.
