Gilead or Gilad ( UK : / ˈ ɡ ɪ l i æ d / , US : / ˈ ɡ ɪ l i ə d / ; Hebrew : גִּלְעָד Gilʿāḏ , Arabic : جلعاد , Ǧalʻād, Jalaad) is the ancient, historic, biblical name of the mountainous northern part of the region of Transjordan . The region is bounded in the west by the Jordan River , in the north by the deep ravine of the river Yarmouk and the region of Bashan , and in the southwest by what were known during antiquity as the " plains of Moab ", with no definite boundary to the east. In some cases, "Gilead" is used in the Bible to refer to all the region east of the Jordan River. Gilead is situated in modern-day Jordan , corresponding roughly to the Irbid , Ajloun , Jerash and Balqa Governorates .
17-593: Gilead is explained in the Hebrew Bible as derived from the Hebrew words גלעד gal‛êd , which in turn comes from gal ('heap, mound, hill') and ‛êd ('witness, testimony'). If that is the case, Gilead means 'heap [of stones] of testimony'. There is also an alternative theory that it means 'rocky region'. From its mountainous character, it is called the Mount of Gilead ( Genesis 31:25 ; Song 4:1 ). It
34-403: A function is defined in lowercase, it can be called in uppercase, but if a variable is defined in lowercase, it cannot be referred to in uppercase. Nim is case-insensitive and ignores underscores, as long as the first characters match. A text search operation could be case-sensitive or case-insensitive, depending on the system, application, or context. The user can in many cases specify whether
51-475: A search is sensitive to case, e.g. in most text editors, word processors, and Web browsers. A case-insensitive search is more comprehensive, finding "Language" (at the beginning of a sentence), "language", and "LANGUAGE" (in a title in capitals); a case-sensitive search will find the computer language "BASIC" but exclude most of the many unwanted instances of the word. For example, the Google Search engine
68-407: A source code tree for software for Unix-like systems might have both a file named Makefile and a file named makefile in the same directory. In addition, some Mac Installers assume case insensitivity and fail on case-sensitive file systems. The older MS-DOS filesystems FAT12 and FAT16 were case-insensitive and not case-preserving, so that a file whose name is entered as readme.txt or ReadMe.txt
85-583: Is basically case-insensitive, with no option for case-sensitive search. In Oracle SQL, most operations and searches are case-sensitive by default, while in most other DBMSes , SQL searches are case-insensitive by default. Case-insensitive operations are sometimes said to fold case , from the idea of folding the character code table so that upper- and lowercase letters coincide. In filesystems in Unix-like systems, filenames are usually case-sensitive (there can be separate readme.txt and Readme.txt files in
102-580: Is called also the Land of Gilead ( Numbers 32:1 , Judges 10:4 ) in many translations , and sometimes simply Gilead ( Genesis 37:25 ; Judges 10:8 ; Psalm 60:7 ), also mentioned in Micah 7:14–15 . The name Gilead first appears in the biblical account of the last meeting of Jacob and Laban ( Genesis 31:21–22 ). In Book of Genesis , Gilead was also referred to by the Aramaic name Yegar-Sahadutha, which carries
119-613: Is saved as README.TXT. Later, with VFAT in Windows 95 the FAT file systems became case-preserving as an extension of supporting long filenames . Later Windows file systems such as NTFS are internally case-sensitive, and a readme.txt and a Readme.txt can coexist in the same directory. However, for practical purposes filenames behave as case-insensitive as far as users and most software are concerned. This can cause problems for developers or software coming from Unix-like environments, similar to
136-502: The Book of Hosea may refer to the cities of Ramoth-Gilead , Jabesh-Gilead , or the whole Gilead region; "Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood" ( Hosea 6:8 ). The kingdoms Ammon and Moab sometimes expanded to include southern Gilead. King David fled to Mahanaim in Gilead during the rebellion of Absalom . Gilead is later mentioned as the homeplace of

In the Book of Judges , the thirty sons of the biblical judge Jair controlled the thirty towns of Gilead ( Judges 10:4 ), and in the First Book of Chronicles , Segub controlled twenty-three towns in Gilead ( 1 Chronicles 2:21–22 ).

Retrieved from " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James) " Case sensitivity In computers, case sensitivity defines whether uppercase and lowercase letters are treated as distinct ( case-sensitive ) or equivalent ( case-insensitive ).

221-550: The prophet Elijah . King Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria established the province of Gal'azu (Gilead) c. 733 BCE. Gilead ( Arabic : جلعاد , Ǧalʻād or Jalaad) is an Arabic term used to refer to the mountainous land extending north and south of Jabbok . It was used more generally for the entire region east of the Jordan River . It corresponds today to the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Jordan . The region appears in
238-506: The same directory). MacOS is somewhat unusual in that, by default, it uses HFS+ and APFS in a case-insensitive (so that there cannot be a readme.txt and a Readme.txt in the same directory) but case-preserving mode (so that a file created as readme.txt is shown as readme.txt and a file created as Readme.txt is shown as Readme.txt) by default. This causes some issues for developers and power users , because most file systems in other Unix-like environments are case-sensitive, and, for example,
255-519: The same meaning as the Hebrew Gilead, namely "heap [of stones] of testimony" ( Genesis 31:47–48 ). According to the biblical narrative, during the Exodus , "half Gilead" was possessed by Sihon , and the other half, separated from it by the river Jabbok , by Og , king of Bashan. After the two kings were defeated, the region of Gilead was allotted by Moses to the tribes of Gad , Reuben , and

But when they search an online encyclopedia for information about the United Nations , for example, or something with no ambiguity regarding capitalization and ambiguity between two or more terms cut down by capitalization, they may prefer a case-sensitive search. Case sensitivity may differ depending on the situation: Some programming languages are case-sensitive for their identifiers ( C , C++ , Java , C# , Verilog , Ruby , Python and Swift ). Others are case-insensitive (i.e., not case-sensitive), such as ABAP , Ada , most BASICs (an exception being BBC BASIC ), Common Lisp , Fortran , SQL (for

There are also languages, such as Haskell , Prolog , and Go , in which the capitalisation of an identifier encodes information about its semantics . Some other programming languages have varying case sensitivity; in PHP , for example, variable names are case-sensitive but function names are not case-sensitive. This means that if
