‘hebrew’ –> גָּד
‘modern’ –> gad
‘tiberian’ –> Gāḏ;
(meaning “luck”)
.
*’gad’ was (according to the ‘book of genesis’) the 1st son of ‘jacob’ and ‘zilpah’ (the 7th son (?) of ‘jacob’ overall*
.
(‘founder’ of the israelite ‘tribe of gad’)
(however, some ‘biblical scholars’ view this as ‘postdiction’, an eponymous metaphor providing an aetiology of the connectedness of the tribe to others in the ‘israelite confederation’)
(the text of the ‘Book of Genesis’ implies that the name of Gad means luck / fortunate, in ‘Hebrew’)
(classical rabbinical literature argues that the name was a prophetic reference to the ‘manna’)
(the Biblical account shows Zilpah’s status as a handmaid change to an actual wife of ‘Jacob’ (‘Genesis 30:9,11’))
(her ‘handmaid’ status is regarded by some biblical scholars as indicating that the authors saw the ‘tribe of gad’ as being not of entirely Israelite origin; many scholars believe that ‘Gad’ was a late addition to the ‘israelite confederation’, as implied by the ‘Moabite Stone’, which seemingly differentiates between the ‘Israelites’ and the ‘tribe of gad’)
(‘gad’ by this theory is assumed to have originally been a northwards-migrating nomadic tribe, at a time when the other tribes were quite settled in ‘Canaan’)
(according to classical rabbinical literature, ‘Gad’ was born on ’10 Cheshvan’, and lived 125 years)
(these sources go on to state that, unlike his other brothers, ‘Joseph’ didn’t present ‘Gad’ to the ‘Pharaoh’, since ‘Joseph’ didn’t want ‘Gad’ to become one of Pharaoh’s guards, an appointment that would have been likely had the ‘Pharaoh’ realised that ‘Gad’ had great strength)
(the ‘Book of Jasher’ states that ‘Gad’ married ‘Uzith’)
.
(‘Uzith’ was the daughter of ‘Amuram’, the granddaughter of ‘Uz’ and the great-grandson of ‘Nahor’ (son of ‘Terah’))
