Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַן (gaban), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of being convex or having a hump.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the specific Hebrew term גַּבְנֹן. However, Greek terms related to mountains or peaks, such as ὄρος (oros, Strong's Greek 3735), which means "mountain" or "hill," may be conceptually related in terms of describing elevated landforms.

Usage: The term גַּבְנֹן is used in the context of describing a physical hump or a peak, particularly in reference to hills or mountains.

Context: • The Hebrew word גַּבְנֹן (gabnon) appears in the context of describing the physical characteristics of hills or mountains, emphasizing their rounded or peaked nature. This term is used metaphorically to convey the idea of prominence or elevation in the landscape.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is found in Psalm 68:15-16: "A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan." Here, גַּבְנֹן is translated as "many peaks," highlighting the majestic and elevated nature of Mount Bashan.
• The imagery of a hump or peak is significant in biblical literature, often symbolizing strength, stability, and the grandeur of God's creation. Mountains and hills are frequently used as metaphors for divine presence and power, and the use of גַּבְנֹן in this context underscores the awe-inspiring nature of these natural formations.
