Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1439 (גִּדְעוֹן, Gid'on): The original Hebrew name for Gideon, used in the Old Testament. Usage: The name "Gedeón" refers to a prominent judge and military leader in Israel's history, known for his role in delivering the Israelites from Midianite oppression. In the New Testament, the name is mentioned in the context of faith and heroism. Cultural and Historical Background: Gideon is a central figure in the Book of Judges (Judges 6-8) in the Old Testament. He was called by God to lead Israel against the Midianites, who had been oppressing the Israelites. Despite his initial hesitance and need for reassurance through signs, Gideon obeyed God's command. He famously reduced his army to 300 men, as instructed by God, to ensure that the victory would be attributed to divine intervention rather than human strength. Gideon's account is a testament to God's power and faithfulness, as well as the importance of obedience and trust in God's plan.
