Gammadim:
This word occurs only in Ezekiel 27:11. A variety of explanations of the term have been offered.
(1.) One class renders it "pygmies."
(2.) A second treats it as a geographical or local term.
(3.) A third gives a more general sense to the word "brave warriors." Hitzig suggests "deserters." After all, the rendering in the LXX.-"guards"- furnishes the simplest explanation.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
