Strong's Lexicon gemul: Recompense, reward, benefit, dealing Original Word: גְּמוּל Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּמַל (gamal), which means "to deal fully or adequately with," "to recompense," or "to repay." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G469 (ἀνταπόδομα, antapodoma): Meaning "recompense" or "reward." - G591 (ἀποδίδωμι, apodidomi): Meaning "to give back," "to repay," or "to render." Usage: The Hebrew word "gemul" primarily refers to the concept of recompense or reward, often in the context of divine justice or human actions. It can denote both positive rewards for good deeds and negative recompense for wrongdoing. The term emphasizes the idea of receiving what one deserves, whether it be blessings or consequences. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of recompense was deeply embedded in the covenantal relationship between God and His people. The Israelites believed that God was just and would reward or punish individuals and nations according to their actions. This belief was reflected in their legal and moral systems, where justice and fairness were paramount. The idea of "gemul" also extended to interpersonal relationships, where acts of kindness or wrongdoing were expected to be reciprocated appropriately.
