BETH-GAMUL bĕth gā’ məl (בֵּ֥ית גָּמ֖וּל, LXX Jer 31:23 οἶκος Γαμωλ, house of recompense). A city of Moab now identified with Khirbet el-Jemeil c. five m. E of Aroer. In Jeremiah’s oracle against Moab it is listed among the cities of the tableland of Moab upon which the judgment of God would come for the manner in which Moab treated Israel (Jer 48:23).
