Strong's Lexicon Gibah: Hill, Height Original Word: גִּבְעָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַע (gāvaʿ), meaning "to be high" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Gibah," the concept of a hill or elevated place can be related to Greek terms such as ὄρος (oros, G3735) meaning "mountain" or "hill." Usage: The term "Gibah" refers to a hill or elevated place. In the biblical context, it often denotes a physical location that is higher than the surrounding terrain. It can also imply a place of strategic or religious significance, as hills were commonly used for altars and places of worship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hills and high places were significant both strategically and religiously. They served as lookout points and defensive positions in times of war. Religiously, high places were often chosen for altars and worship, sometimes leading to idolatrous practices condemned by the prophets. The elevation was seen as closer to the divine, making it a preferred location for encountering God or gods.
