ga.rev is a proper name used for an Ithrite individual and for a hill named Gareb.

The term is used chiefly as the proper name of an Ithrite individual in the two roster-like clauses, and once as the name of a hill reached by a measuring line.

Senses in use

  1. An Ithrite individual · dominant

    In 1 Chronicles 11:40 and 2 Samuel 23:38, the form is tagged Noun · Proper and occurs in the clause identifying Gareb as “the Ithrite.” In 1 Chronicles 11:40 the APB renders the paired names “Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite.”

  2. A hill named Gareb · rare

    In Jeremiah 31:39, the form is tagged Noun · Proper in the phrase naming “the hill of Gareb,” where the measuring line goes out toward it and then turns to Goah. The APB renders the clause “to the hill of Gareb and shall then turn to Goah.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Gareb” in all three verses: as “Gareb the Ithrite” in the two personal identifications and as “the hill of Gareb” in Jeremiah 31:39. These are verse-level renderings rather than word alignment.
