ITG 3-2 p 85 and 92
You make the point, and it seems an important point, that geber means 'an individual'. In Strongs it is # 1397 and seems to mean strong young man. How do you get 'individual' from this?

LN 9.24–9.33 man, i.e., the male of the human species, sometimes only slightly implying strength (Dt 22:5; Ps 88:5[EB 4]; Ps 127:5; Isa 22:17); also part of a compound name, see Ben-Geber, see 1205; Ezion Geber, see 6787; 2. LN 59.23–59.34 one, each, i.e., a marker functioning to identify an object as an individual of a larger whole (Joel 2:8); 3. LN 9.1–9.23 human being, person, individual, i.e., one who may be a male or female (Job 14:14; Ps 18:26[EB 25]; 37:23; Pr 20:24; 29:5; Jer 17:5; Mic 2:2), note: though of masc. gender, the context deals with issues related to humans not just males |
