Strong's Lexicon Beth Gamul: Beth Gamul Original Word: בֵּית גָּמוּל Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth), meaning "house" or "place," and גָּמוּל (gamul), meaning "recompense" or "reward." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth Gamul, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of recompense or reward can be related to Greek words like μισθός (misthos, Strong's G3408), meaning "wages" or "reward." Usage: Beth Gamul is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "house of recompense" or "place of reward." It is mentioned as a town in the territory of Moab. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Gamul was located in the region of Moab, east of the Jordan River. Moab was a nation often in conflict with Israel, and its territory was known for its fertile lands and strategic location. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, and had a complex relationship with the Israelites, sometimes hostile and at other times allied.
