Supported# Gether (H1666): A Minor Biblical Name Based on the lexical data provided, Gether appears as a proper noun occurring exactly twice in the Hebrew Bible. The lemma is listed with a short definition identifying it simply as "Gether," indicating this is a personal or place name rather than a word with semantic range or multiple meanings. With only two occurrences in the biblical text, Gether represents a minor figure or location that does not warrant extended discussion in standard biblical lexicons. The minimal lexical entry—providing only identification without elaboration—suggests that the word's significance in ancient Hebrew literature was limited, and its meaning or identity may not be entirely certain to modern scholars. Without additional contextual data from the provided lexicon, we cannot determine whether Gether was a person, place, or entity of historical or theological importance. The sparsity of attestation means that Gether would have been known to Hebrew speakers primarily through its specific biblical references rather than as a common word in regular use. Any detailed analysis of its significance would require consulting the actual biblical passages where it appears, information not included in this lexical entry alone.
