Gad
Generation 2 from Adam
Biography
The first son born to Jacob through Leah's handmaid Zilpah, Gad's name means 'good fortune' or 'a troop comes.' His descendants formed a warrior tribe that settled east of the Jordan River in fertile pasturelands.
The tribe of Gad was known for its fierce warriors and remained faithful to Israel, though their separation by the Jordan sometimes caused concern.
