Gerar . Gerar was a city of Arabia Petrea , under a king of the Philistines , 25 miles from Eleutheropolis beyond Daroma , in the south of Judah. From Genesis 10 . 19 , it appears to have been situated in the angle where the south and west sides of Canaan met , and to have been not far from Gaza. Jerome , in his Hebrew Traditions on Genesis , says , from Gerar to Jerusalem was three days' journey. There was a wood near Gerar , spoken of by Theodoret; and a brook .
