(anc. geog.), a district of the Transjordan Palestine, situated between Gilead and the kingdom of Bashan to the north, and the kingdom of the Amorites to the south; having the Jordan to the west, and bounded by various people on the east; so called from a tribe of that name.

Gad, among miners, a small punch of iron, with a long wooden handle, used to break up the ore.

One of the miners holds this in his hand, directing the point to a proper place, while the other drives it into the vein, by striking it with a flint-hammer.
