Strong's Lexicon Gamul: Reward, Recompense, Benefit Original Word: גְּמוּל Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּמַל (gamal), which means "to deal fully or adequately with," often implying recompense or reward. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is μισθός (misthos), which also means "wages" or "reward." This is seen in passages like Matthew 5:12: "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven." Usage: The term "Gamul" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the concept of a reward or recompense, often in the context of divine justice or human actions. It reflects the idea of receiving what is due, whether as a positive reward for good deeds or as a recompense for wrongdoing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of recompense was deeply embedded in the legal and moral systems. The idea that one's actions would lead to corresponding consequences was a fundamental principle, both in human relationships and in the covenantal relationship with God. This principle is reflected in the broader Ancient Near Eastern context, where justice and retribution were key elements of societal order.
