Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Gizri" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew and the context of the Old Testament.

Usage: The term "Gizri" refers to a descendant or inhabitant of Gezer, an ancient Canaanite city. In the context of the Bible, it is used to identify individuals associated with this location.

Cultural and Historical Background: Gezer was a significant Canaanite city-state located in the Shephelah region of ancient Israel. It held strategic importance due to its position on the trade route between Egypt and Mesopotamia. The city is mentioned in various ancient inscriptions and was known for its fortifications and influence during the Canaanite and Israelite periods. Gezer was eventually conquered by the Israelites and became part of the tribal allotment of Ephraim, although it retained a Canaanite presence for some time.
