GERAR - G>@ - (a lodging-place), a very ancient city south of Gaza. It occurs chiefly in Genesis, kjv@Genesis:10:19 kjv@Genesis:20:1 kjv@Genesis:26:17 ) also incidentally in ( kjv@2Chronicles:14:13-14) It must have trenched on the "south" or "south country" of later Palestine. From a comparison of kjv@Genesis:21:32) with kjv@Genesis:26:23 kjv@Genesis:26:26 Beersheba would seem to be just on the verge of this territory, and perhaps to be its limit towards the northeast.
