However, the idea of fortune or luck can be loosely related to Greek terms like "τύχη" (tyche), which also means fortune or chance.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "gad" primarily refers to "fortune" or "luck" and is also associated with a "troop" or "band." In the context of the Israelite tribes, Gad is one of the twelve sons of Jacob, whose descendants formed the tribe of Gad. The term can also refer to a deity of fortune worshiped by some in ancient times.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The tribe of Gad was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Jacob's seventh son by Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The tribe settled on the east side of the Jordan River, in a region known for its fertile land and strategic military position. The name Gad is also linked to the worship of a deity of fortune, which was common among neighboring pagan cultures. This association with fortune and luck reflects the ancient Near Eastern belief systems that often personified abstract concepts as deities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>fortune, good fortune<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fortunate (1), fortune (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II.
