גְּמוּל

Judges 9:16 כִּגְמ֥וּל according to [the] dealing of

Now if you have acted faithfully and honestly in making Abimelech king, if you have done well by Jerubbaal and his family, and if you have done to him as he deserves—

2 Chronicles 32:25 כִגְמֻ֤ל according to [the] benefit

But because his heart was proud, Hezekiah did not repay the favor shown to him. Therefore wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

Here: With the little prefix 'according to' (k-). It means 'in proportion to the dealing': what God had done for Hezekiah, meaning the healing and the sign. Elsewhere the word is often used for payback a person deserves. Here it is a kindness that called for a response.

Psalm 28:4 גְּמוּלָ֣ם recompense their

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

Here: "Their dealing": what they have dealt out to others, which then becomes their payback. The word itself is neutral. In Ps 103:2 it means God's kind "benefits."

Psalm 94:2 גְּ֝מ֗וּל recompense

Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.

Here: The way someone has treated others, and the matching return for it. It is neutral in itself: it can mean 'benefits' (Psalm 103:2). Here it means the harm the proud have done, sent back to them.

Psalm 103:2 גְּמוּלָֽיו׃ benefits his

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

Here: 'His dealings', the things Yahweh has actually done to and for the psalmist. Elsewhere the word often means repayment, sometimes punishment. Here it refers to the good deeds that verses 3–5 go on to list: forgiving, healing, redeeming, crowning, satisfying.

Psalm 137:8 גְּ֝מוּלֵ֗ךְ dealing your

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

Here: 'Your dealing', meaning both what you did and what you are owed for it. The same word is used in Obadiah 15 against Edom (who appears in v. 7) and in Jeremiah 51:6 against Babylon: 'a recompense he is paying back to her.'

Proverbs 12:14 וּגְמ֥וּל and [the] dealing of

By fruitful speech a man is filled with good things, and the work of his hands returns to him.

Here: The word covers both what a person does and what comes back for it. "The dealing of his hands" is his work and conduct, which is also the payback it earns. In itself the word is neither good nor bad.

Proverbs 19:17 וּ֝גְמֻל֗וֹ and recompense his

Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.

Here: "And his deed": what the generous person has done to and for the poor man. The same word can mean both the deed itself and what that deed earns. Here it is the good act, treated as a sum owed back to the doer.

Isaiah 3:11 גְמ֥וּל [the] dealing of

Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.

Here: 'The dealing of.' The word means both what a person has done to others and what comes back to him for it. Either sense, good or bad, depends on the context. Here it means the harm his hands have handed out.

Isaiah 35:4 גְּמ֣וּל [the] recompense of

Say to those with anxious hearts: “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance. With divine retribution He will come to save you.”

Here: 'The repayment of …': a person's dealings and the matching return for them. Against the oppressor it is a penalty. For the wronged it is their due finally paid. Here it stands in parallel with 'vengeance'.

Isaiah 59:18 גְּמ֖וּל גְּמ֥וּל recompense

So He will repay according to their deeds: fury to His enemies, retribution to His foes, and recompense to the islands.

Here: The return that matches the deed. It comes from the same root as 'deeds' at the start of the verse, so the wording makes the point by itself: what they dealt out is what comes back.

Isaiah 66:6 גְּמ֖וּל recompense

Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!

Jeremiah 51:6 גְּמ֕וּל recompense

Flee from Babylon! Escape with your lives! Do not be destroyed in her punishment. For this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; He will pay her what she deserves.

Here: What one's own dealings have earned. Placed first in its clause for emphasis: 'Her deserts, those he is paying her.'

Lamentations 3:64 גְּמ֛וּל recompense

You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.

Joel 3:4 הַגְּמ֗וּל גְּמֻלְכֶ֖ם ¿ <the> recompense, recompense your

Now what do you have against Me, O Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering against Me a recompense? If you retaliate against Me, I will swiftly and speedily return your recompense upon your heads.

Here: The prefix ha- turns the clause into a question. Gemul is 'what one deals out', a deed done to someone, especially one that answers an earlier deed. 'Is it payback you are paying me?' It is put first for emphasis.

Joel 3:7 גְמֻלְכֶ֖ם recompense your

Behold, I will rouse them from the places to which you sold them; I will return your recompense upon your heads.

Obadiah 1:15 גְּמֻלְךָ֖ recompense your

For the Day of the LORD is near for all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your recompense will return upon your own head.

Here: "Your dealing": what you dealt out to others, which is also what comes back to you as payment. The one word covers both the deed and its payback.
