The Tribe of Gad (גָּד "soldier" or "luck",
Standard Hebrew Gad,
Tiberian Hebrew Gāḏ) was one of the
Tribes of Israel. At its height, Gad occupied a region to the east of the
River Jordan, though the exact location is ambiguous; among the cities mentioned by the
Bible as having at some point been part of Gad were
Ramoth, Jaezer,
Aroer, and
Dibon, though some of these are marked elsewhere as belonging to
Reuben. The location was never secure from invasion and attacks, since to the south it was exposed to the
Moabites, and like the other tribes east of the Jordan was exposed on the north and east to
Aram-Damascus and later the
Assyrians.
