Fortune (Gad)
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun in the absolute state (HNp); also appears as a masculine singular common noun (HNcmsa) in related forms. Refers to a personal name and by extension a tribal and territorial designation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name גָּד is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), referring to the individual Gad and, by extension, his tribe and territory. It is traditionally connected to the root גדד, conveying ideas of a troop or pressing band, and in Genesis 30:11 is associated with "fortune." Rendering it as "Fortune (Gad)" preserves the underlying root sense while maintaining its function as a singular masculine proper name. |
