Gammadim

 

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.
