Gur
Gur is a toponym—the name of a place referenced in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the ascent of Gur. Its precise location is uncertain, but it was situated near Ibleam in the territory of the northern kingdom of Israel. The word itself is derived from a root commonly meaning 'to sojourn' or 'to dwell as a resident alien,' but as a toponym, Gur does not carry this sense directly except possibly by association. The term occurs in a geographical context where a location is being described, and it does not carry other semantic senses in the Hebrew Bible.
