Strong's Lexicon gamal: To deal fully or adequately with, to recompense, to wean Original Word: גָּמַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G591 (ἀποδίδωμι, apodidomi): To give back, to repay - G5059 (τελειόω, teleioo): To complete, to perfect Usage: The Hebrew verb "gamal" primarily means to deal with someone in a way that is complete or adequate, often implying a sense of recompense or reward. It can also mean to wean, as in the process of a child transitioning from nursing to eating solid food. The term is used in various contexts, including dealing bountifully, repaying, or rendering a service or action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of recompense was significant, reflecting the broader biblical principle of sowing and reaping. The idea of weaning was also culturally important, marking a child's growth and development. The term "gamal" captures both the idea of maturity and the fulfillment of obligations or promises, which were central to the covenantal relationships in the Hebrew Bible.
