GILEAD - G>@ - (rocky region). A mountainous region bounded on the west by the Jordan, on the north by Bashan, on the east by the Arabian plateau, and on the south by Moab and Ammon. kjv@Genesis:31:21 kjv@Genesis:3:12-17) It is sometimes called "Mount Gilead," kjv@Genesis:31:25) sometimes "the land of Gilead," kjv@Numbers:32:1) and sometimes simply "Gilead." kjv@Psalms:60:7; kjv@Genesis:37:25) The name Gilead, as is usual in Palestine, describes the physical aspect of the country: it signifies "a hard rocky region." The mountains of Gilead, including Pisgah, Abarim and Peor, have a real elevation of from 2000 to 3000 feet; but their apparent elevation on the western side is much greater, owing to the depression of the Jordan valley, which averages about 3000 feet. Their outline is singularly uniform, resembling a massive wall running along the horizon. Gilead was specially noted for its balm collected from "balm of Gilead" trees, and worth twice its weight in silver. Possibly the name of a mountain west of the Jordan, near Jezreel. kjv@Judges:7:3) We are inclined, however, to think that the true reading in this place should be GILBOA. Son of Machir, grandson of Manasseh. kjv@Numbers:26:29-30) The father of Jephthah. kjv@Judges:11:1-2)

Gilead @ hill of testimony, kjv@Genesis:31:21), a mountainous region east of Jordan. From its mountainous character it is called "the mount of Gilead" kjv@Genesis:31:25). It is called also "the land of Gilead" kjv@Numbers:32:1), and sometimes simply "Gilead" kjv@Psalms:60:7; kjv@Genesis:37:25). It comprised the possessions of the tribes of Gad and Reuben and the south part of Manasseh kjv@Deuteronomy:3:13; kjv@Numbers:32:40). It was bounded on the north by Bashan, and on the south by Moab and Ammon kjv@Genesis:31:21; kjv@Deuteronomy:3:12-17). "Half Gilead" was possessed by Sihon, and the other half, separated from it by the river Jabbok, by Og, king of Bashan. The deep ravine of the river Hieromax (the modern Sheriat el
- Mandhur) separated Bashan from Gilead, which was about 60 miles in length and 20 in breadth, extending from near the south end of the Lake of Gennesaret to the north end of the Dead Sea. Abarim, Pisgah, Nebo, and Peor are its mountains mentioned in Scripture.

Gilead, Balm of @ The region of Gilead abounded in spices and aromatic gums, which were exported to Egypt and Tyre kjv@Genesis:37:25; kjv@Jeremiah:8:22 kjv@Jeremiah:46:11; kjv@Ezekiel:27:17). The word "balm" is a contracted form of "balsam," a word derived from the Greek balsamon, which was adopted as the representative of the Hebrew words baal shemen, meaning "lord" or "chief of oils." The Hebrew name of this balm was tsori. The tree yielding this medicinal oil was probably the Balsamodendron opobalsamum of botanists, and the Amyris opobalsamum of Linnaeus. It is an evergreen, rising to the height of about 14 feet. The oil or resin, exuding through an orifice made in its bark in very small quantities, is esteemed of great value for its supposed medicinal qualities. (
See BALM.) It may be noted that Coverdale's version reads in kjv@Jeremiah:8:22, "There is no triacle in Galaad." The word "triacle" = "treacle" is used in the sense of ointment.
