Beth-gamul, a Moabite town (possibly modern Umm el-Jemal)
Jeremiah 48:23 includes Beth-gamul in the oracle against Moab, listing it among cities facing divine judgment. The name means 'house of recompense' or 'house of weaning.' It's been tentatively identified with Umm el-Jemal, about five hours south of Bosra in ancient Moabite territory. The town appears only here in Scripture, part of Jeremiah's comprehensive catalog of Moabite settlements that would experience Babylon's devastation.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Jeremiah 48:23's 'Beth-gamul' (בֵּית גָּמוּל) is one of several Moabite cities named in judgment oracle. Spanish 'Bet-Gamul,' English 'Beth-gamul' preserve the form. The name's meaning ('house of recompense') takes on ironic overtones in a judgment context—the city of recompense receiving its own recompense. Proposed identification with Umm el-Jemal places it in the southern Moabite plateau, though certainty is impossible given lack of other ancient references. 1×
