Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּמַל (gamal), which means "to deal fully or adequately with, to recompense, to ripen."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Gemalli, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of recompense or dealing fully, as suggested by the root גָּמַל, can be related to Greek terms that convey similar meanings, such as ἀποδίδωμι (apodidōmi • to give back, to recompense) or τελειόω (teleioō • to complete, to perfect). These Greek terms are not direct translations but reflect thematic parallels.

Usage: The name Gemalli appears in the context of the genealogies and tribal listings of the Israelites. It is specifically mentioned in the Book of Numbers.

Context: • Gemalli is noted as the father of Ammiel, who was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. This account is found in the Book of Numbers. Gemalli is identified as a member of the tribe of Dan. The specific reference to Gemalli is found in Numbers 13:12: "from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli."
• The name Gemalli, like many Hebrew names, carries a meaning that reflects a characteristic or hoped-for trait. The root גָּמַל (gamal) suggests themes of recompense or ripening, which may imply a sense of maturity or completeness.
• The mention of Gemalli is brief, and he is primarily recognized through his son Ammiel's role as a spy. The narrative of the spies is significant in the biblical account as it leads to the Israelites' prolonged wandering in the wilderness due to the negative report brought back by most of the spies, including Ammiel.
