Senses in use

  1. Proper name in Aram’s genealogical line · dominant

    In Genesis 10:23, the form is tagged as a proper noun and occurs in the list introduced as Aram’s sons; the APB renders the list with “Gether” among Uz, Hul, and Mash. In 1 Chronicles 1:17, the same proper-noun form appears in the genealogical sequence that names Aram and then Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Gether” in both genealogical lists. The original form’s specific English correspondence is supported here by its position in those name lists.
