NASB Translation
Gamul (1).

גָּמוּל proper name, masculine (weaned) a chief of the Levites 1 Chronicles 24:17. See also בֵּית גָּמוּל (Jeremiah 48:28).

Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּמַל (gamal), which means "to deal fully or adequately with," often implying a sense of recompense or reward.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Gamul, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of recompense or reward, which is inherent in the root גָּמַל (gamal), can be related to Greek terms such as μισθός (misthos, Strong's Greek 3408), meaning "wages" or "reward."

Usage: The name Gamul appears in the context of the priestly divisions established by King David. It is specifically mentioned in 1 Chronicles 24:17.

Context: Gamul is identified as one of the priestly families during the time of King David. In 1 Chronicles 24:17, Gamul is listed as the leader of the twenty-second division of priests. This division was part of the larger organization of the priesthood into twenty-four courses, a system established to ensure the orderly conduct of temple services. Each division served in the temple for a week at a time, twice a year, in addition to serving during major festivals. The name Gamul, meaning "recompense" or "reward," may reflect the role of the priesthood in mediating between God and the people, ensuring that divine justice and blessings were dispensed appropriately.
