After learning the meaning of the word “Gezer” in the Bible, let’s try to understand why the city of Gezer was called by this name? And in general – what is so special about “Gezer”? Why did the kings of Egypt always conquer Gezer and why did no Jewish leader ever conquer Gezer? Not Joshua, not the judges, not David, and not Solomon! King Solomon received Gezer as a wedding gift from Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. A somewhat strange gift… So what is the meaning of Gezer in the Tanach?
