This Gershom entry refers to the son of Moses in Judges 18, though some textual traditions obscure the reading. He belongs to the complicated legacy of Israel's early tribal and cultic disorder. First appears in Judg 18:30.1
AI summary: This Gershom matters because his single cross reference ties a descendant of Moses into the troubling story of the Danite shrine and irregular priesthood. The entry sharply illustrates how even honored lineage did not prevent distortion in the period of the judges. Taken together, the material presents this Gershom as a figure whose family line is implicated in early Israel's religious disorder.1
