Tempat
Gaza
Disebut juga Aza, yang merupakan nama Ibraninya (Ulangan 2:23; 1 Raja-raja 4:24; Yeremia 25:20), berarti kuat; sebuah kota di pantai Laut Tengah, terkenal karena kepentingannya sejak zaman dahulu sebagai pusat utama lalu lintas perdagangan besar dengan Mesir. Ini adalah salah satu kota tertua di dunia (Kejadian 10:19; Yosua 15:47). Penduduk paling awalnya adalah orang Awi, yang ditaklukkan dan digantikan oleh orang Kaftor (Ulangan 2:23; Yosua 13:2, 3), salah satu suku Filistin. Dalam pembagian negeri, kota ini menjadi bagian milik pusaka Yehuda (Yosua 15:47; Hakim-hakim 1:18). Ini adalah kota paling selatan dari lima kota besar orang Filistin yang masing-masing mempersembahkan borok emas sebagai kurban penebus salah kepada TUHAN (1 Samuel 6:17). Pintu-pintu gerbangnya diangkat dan dibawa pergi oleh Simson (Hakim-hakim 16:1-3). Di sinilah dia kemudian dipenjarakan dan “menggiling di rumah penjara.” Di sini pula ia meruntuhkan kuil Dagon dan membunuh “semua raja kota orang Filistin”, dan ia sendiri binasa dalam reruntuhan tersebut (Hakim-hakim 16:21-30). Para nabi menyampaikan penghukuman Allah atasnya (Yeremia 25:20; 47:5; Amos 1:6, 7; Zefanya 2:4). Kota ini disebutkan dalam Kisah Para Rasul 8:26. Di sini Filipus disuruh mengambil jalan dari Yerusalem ke Gaza (sekitar 10 kilometer di barat daya Yerusalem), “jalan itu jalan yang sunyi”, yaitu “jalan padang belantara”, kemungkinan melalui Hebron, melintasi perbukitan gurun di Yudea Selatan.
Kota ini tercatat pada berbagai monumen seawal tahun 1600 SM. Pelabuhan kecilnya sekarang disebut el-Mineh.
