Hebrew word for man emphasizing strength/virility, about 65 times. From g-b-r (to be strong). Unlike ish (person) or adam (human), geber highlights masculine strength.
Jeremiah: 'Cursed is the geber who trusts in man' (17:5); 'Blessed is the geber who trusts in the LORD' (17:7). Related gibbor is title for God.
Biblical masculinity paradox: true geber strength is found in trust, humility, dependence on God, not raw power.
