| Semantic Range | A Philistine city in the Negev region; the surrounding territory associated with that city. |
| Conceptual Significance | Gerar is the setting for key patriarchal narratives (Abraham and Isaac among the Philistines), highlighting themes of sojourning, covenant promise, and interaction between the covenant family and surrounding nations. |
