Fausets

Margin Isa 65:11, "that troop," rather "that prepare a (sacrificial) table for the Gad," i.e. the deity of fortune, a Babylonian idol worshipped by the Jews, answering to either the moon or Jupiter, related to Syriac gado, and Arab jad "good fortune." The star of luck, for which a couch was laid out and a banqueting "table." Meni ("that number," margin Isa 65:11) was the lesser good fortune, Gad the greater.
