Beth-gamul
Beth-gamul
(Heb. Beyth Gamul’, , house of the weaned, or possibly camel- house; Sept. v v. r. v. r. ), a city, apparently in the plain country of Moab, denounced by the prophet (Jer 48:23). Dr. Smith suggests (Biblical Researches, 3, Append. p. 153) that it is the modern Um-Jemal, a ruined site on the road (south according to Burckhardt, p. 106) from Busrah to Dera (his Edrei); which is probably correct, although it is difficult to believe that Moab ever extended so far north. SEE BOZRAH.
Beth-gamul
Prof. Merrill gives some reasons for thinking that Moab may have been popularly regarded as including the modern Um el-Jemal (East of the Jordan, p. 86). He gives a detailed description of the place (p. 82).

Beth-Gamul
beth-gamul ( , beth gamul; , okos Gaimol; Codex Sinaiticus, , Gamola): A city in Moab named with Dibon, Kiriathaim and Beth-meon (Jer 48:23). Conder places it at Umm el-Jamal, toward East of the plateau, S. of Medeba (HDB, under the word). Others (Guthe, Kurz. bib. Wrterbuch, under the word; Buhl, GAP, 268, etc.) favor Jemeil, a site 6 miles East of Dhban. Since the town is not mentioned among the cities of Israel Buhl doubts if it should be sought North of the Arnon.
