Gedor
Gedor, a place name in the Hebrew Bible, designates a settlement or locality—most commonly a town situated within the territory associated with Judah. In some contexts, it also serves as a personal name for several individuals. The name itself primarily denotes an 'enclosure' or 'fortified place', reflecting the root meaning of enclosure or wall. The word can indicate both a geographic location and, less frequently, an Israelite personal name.
