The name may imply a place of lodging or a temporary dwelling.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Gerar was a city located in the Negev region, south of Gaza. It was part of the Philistine territory during the time of the patriarchs. The Philistines were a significant group in the ancient Near East, known for their conflicts with the Israelites. Gerar is notable for its association with the stories of Abraham and Isaac, who interacted with the Philistine king Abimelech. These narratives highlight themes of covenant, divine protection, and the complexities of living among foreign peoples.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
