Usage: The verb גּוּד (gud) is used in the context of pressing upon or attacking, often implying a sense of hostility or aggression.

Context: The Hebrew verb גּוּד (gud) appears in the Old Testament with the primary meaning of "to crowd upon" or "to attack." This term is used to describe actions where individuals or groups press upon others with the intent to harm or overpower. The root conveys a sense of aggressive movement or encroachment, often in a hostile manner. In the context of biblical narratives, it can describe physical attacks or metaphorical pressures exerted by enemies or adversaries. The usage of גּוּד is relatively rare, but it carries significant implications of conflict and confrontation when it does appear.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a way that reflects its aggressive connotations. For example, in passages where enemies are described as attacking or pressing upon the people of Israel, the term גּוּד may be employed to convey the intensity and hostility of the encounter. The verb is often associated with military or adversarial contexts, highlighting the struggles faced by the Israelites against their foes.
