Places
Gilead in Genesis 31
GIL-ee-ad
This place shows up in Genesis 31:21: “So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 31:21
“So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.”
