גָּד

Gad
Neviim · c. 1000-420 BCE

גָּד הוא דמות מקראית, בנו של יעקב מזלפה, שפחת לאה, ולכן היא זו שהעניקה לו את שמו. צאצאיו היו שבט גד. מקור שמו מוסבר בספר בראשית, פרק ל', פסוק י"א:

The Book of Gad the Seer is a presumed lost text, supposed to have been written by the biblical prophet Gad, which is mentioned at 1 Chronicles. The passage reads: "Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer."
