id., Aramaic גַּדָּא, 
) — Genesis 30:11 בּגד Kt, i.e. בְּגָד (בָּא גָד֑ Qr), ᵐ5 ἐν τύχῃ, by or with good fortune. 2. proper name, masculine god of fortune (Arabic 
We Skizzen iii. 171; גד named often in Phoenician & Aramaic inscriptions, & found in Phoenician & Aramaic proper name, Bae Rel 76f. Nö ZMG 1888,479; see especially Siegf JPTh 1875,356 ff.) — with לְ + article לַגַּד Isaiah 65:11 compare Che.
גַּד m.
(1) coriander seed, so called from its furrowed and striped grains; see the root גָּדַד No. 1, Exodus 16:31; Numbers 11:7 LXX., Vulg. κόριον, κορίανον, coriandrum; and so the other Eastern interpreters, except Ch., Sam.; and similar to this was the Punic usage, of which Dioscorides says (iii. 64), Αἰγύπτιοι ὄχιον, Ἄφροι (i.e. Pœni) Γοίδ.
(2) i.q. גָּד No. 1, fortune; with art., specially the divinity of Fortune, worshipped by the Babylonians and by the Jews exiled among them; elsewhere called Baal (see בַּעַל, בֵּל ), i.e. the planet Jupiter, regarded in all the East as the giver of good fortune (الاكبر السعد the greater good fortune). Isaiah 65:11. In the other hemistich, there is mentioned מְנִי, prob. the planet Venus, called in the East, the lesser good fortune; see under this word. I have treated of these religions at greater length on Isa. vol. ii. p. 283, seq.; 335, seq. Well rendered by the LXX. Τύχη. Vulg. Fortuna. Compare בַּעַל גָּד page 131, B.
