Gad's descendants settled on the east side of the Jordan River, in a region known for its fertile land, which was suitable for their large herds of cattle. This location was strategically important, as it served as a buffer zone against eastern invaders. The tribe of Gad was known for its warriors, as seen in <a href="/1_chronicles/12-8.htm">1 Chronicles 12:8</a>, where they are described as brave and skilled in battle. The inclusion of a representative from Gad in the exploration of Canaan highlights the unity and collective responsibility of all tribes in the mission to scout the Promised Land.<p><b>Geuel son of Machi</b><br>Geuel, whose name means "majesty of God" or "God is exalted," was chosen as the representative from the tribe of Gad to spy out the land of Canaan. The mention of his father, Machi, provides a genealogical link, emphasizing the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite society. This personal identification underscores the accountability and honor associated with being selected for such a significant task. The role of the spies was crucial, as they were to bring back a report on the land's conditions, its inhabitants, and its potential for conquest. This mission was a test of faith and obedience, as the Israelites were on the brink of entering the land promised to their forefathers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/geuel.htm">Geuel</a></b><br>Geuel is the representative from the tribe of Gad chosen to spy out the land of Canaan.
