context_page_description: Gilead or Gilad is the name of three persons and two geographic places in the Bible. Gilead may mean 'hill of testimony'. If this is the case, it is likely derived from גלעד gal‛êd, which in turn comes from gal and ‛êd. There also exists an alternative theory that it means 'rocky region'.

context_section_description: Gilead or Gilad (/ˈɡɪliəd/; Hebrew: גִּלְעָד‎, Arabic: جلعاد‎ – Ǧalʻād, Jalaad) is the name of three persons and two geographic places in the Bible.  Gilead may mean 'hill of testimony'.  If this is the case, it is likely derived from גלעד gal‛êd, which in turn comes from gal ('heap, mound, hill') and ‛êd ('witness, testimony').  There also exists an alternative theory that it means 'rocky region'. It is now within the Kingdom of Jordan.
