Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

גָּג const. גַּג with suff. גַּגּוֹ, with ה parag. גָּגָה Joshua 2:6 pl. גַּגּוֹת m.

(1) the roof of a house, flat, as is usual in the East, Joshua 2:6, Joshua 2:8; 1 Samuel 9:25, 26 1 Samuel 9:26; Proverbs 21:9, etc. Used of the roof of a tower, Judges 9:51 of a temple, Judges 16:27.

(2) the surface of the altar, Exodus 30:3, 37:26.-Some derive it from جَجَّ to spread out, but this root originates in an error of Golius and Castell, who wrote جَجَّ for جَحَّ to spread out, see the Kamûs, p. 269; Calc. comp. page 223. I suppose, however, that גָּגַג had nearly the same meaning as גָחַח, جَحَّ, whence جحُّ a plain, the plain surface of any thing; comp. سَطْحُ a roof, from سطح to spread out.

[“Note. The suggestion of Redslob is not improbable, that גָּג may be for גֶּנֶג גַּנְגְּ, and this from גַּנְגַּן; as שַׁרְשָׁה from שַׁרְשְׁרָה; כרך, كر, from כַּרְכַּר; Γολγοθᾶ, Arab. جلجة, from גֻּלְגֹּלֶת.”]
