ge.dor is a proper name used for a location in geographic settings and for named figures in genealogical lists.

The attested forms chiefly identify a named location: it is listed among places in Joshua 15:58 and marks an entrance near a valley in 1 Chronicles 4:39; 1 Chronicles 12:8 places the form in a wilderness-stronghold clause whose precise APB correspondence is read at the verse level. The same proper-name form also occurs in genealogical lists and in two "father of Gedor" designations.

1. Named location in geographic settings · dominant

   In Joshua 15:58 the APB renders Gedor in a list with Halhul and Beth-zur, while in 1 Chronicles 4:39 it renders an "entrance of Gedor" on the east side of a valley where pasture is sought. In 1 Chronicles 12:8 the proper-name form occurs in a clause the APB renders as David's "stronghold in the wilderness"; the translation does not isolate the term's specific English correspondence.

2. Personal name in genealogical lists · common

   In 1 Chronicles 8:31 the APB renders "Gedor, Ahio, and Zecher," and in 1 Chronicles 9:37 it renders "Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth." In both clauses, the proper name stands among successive named individuals.

3. Name in father-designation formulas · common

   In 1 Chronicles 4:4 the APB renders "Peniel was the father of Gedor," and 1 Chronicles 4:18 similarly renders Jared as "the father of Gedor." These clauses identify Gedor through a father-of designation, but the supplied verses do not further specify the referent's type.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form directly as "Gedor" in the place list, the entrance phrase, and the genealogical lists. In 1 Chronicles 12:8 it instead renders the surrounding clause as "the stronghold in the wilderness,".
