Beth-gamul was a Moabite city named in Jeremiah's oracle against Moab. It is important because it shows the breadth of the prophetic judgment across the plateau towns. First appears in Jer 48:23.1
AI summary: Beth-gamul matters because Jeremiah's naming of city after city makes Moab's downfall feel exhaustive and unavoidable. The place belongs to that extended geography of judgment.1
Camel-house, a city in the “plain country” of Moab denounced by the prophet (Jer. 48:23); probably the modern Um-el-Jemal, near Bozrah, one of the deserted cities of the Hauran. 3
