I was in Bible class and I was flipping pages when I came accross a map of Cannan. And then I was like WOOOOAH!!! There is a place called Gilead!!! Seriously! srry 2 bring religion into things, but this isn't really a discussion of it, just context. |

I dont think he did it on purpose it just doesnt seem to have any symbolism or relation to Gilead of the bible. |
