Margin Isaiah 65:11, "that troop," rather "that prepare a (sacrificial) table for the Gad," i.e. the deity of fortune, a Babylonian idol worshipped by the Jews, answering to either the moon or Jupiter, related to Syriac gado , and Arab jad "good fortune." The star of luck, for which a couch was laid out and a banqueting "table." Μeni ("that number," margin Isaiah 65:11) was the lesser good fortune, Gad the greater.
