Gerar Gerar was a city of Arabia Petrea, under a king of the Philistines, 25 miles from Eleutheropolis beyond Daroma, in the south of Judah. From Gen 10:19, it appears to have been situated in the angle where the south and west sides of Canaan met, and to have been not far from Gaza. Jerome, in his Hebrew Traditions on Genesis, says, from Gerar to Jerusalem was three days' journey. There was a wood near Gerar, spoken of by Theodoret; and a brook (Gen 26:26), on which was a monastery, noticed by Sozomen. Gen 10:19, Gen 26:1, Gen 26:6, Gen 26:20, Gen 26:26; 2Chr 14:13-14

a prophet The word navi, rendered a prophet, not only signifies one who foretell future events, but also an intercessor, instructor. See note on 1Sam 10:1; see note on 1Kgs 18:1-46; and see note on 1Cor 14:4. The title was also given to men eminent for eloquence and literary abilities. Hence Aaron, because he was the spokesman of Moses to the Egyptian king, is called a prophet. Exod 4:16, Exod 7:1, Exod 12:1-3, Exod 18:17, Exod 7:1; 1Chr 16:22; Ps 25:14, Ps 105:9-15; Heb 1:1
