It conveys the idea of receiving what is due, whether as a reward for good deeds or as retribution for wrongdoing. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to express the principle of moral causality, where actions have corresponding consequences.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of recompense was deeply embedded in the legal and moral systems. The idea that God would reward the righteous and punish the wicked was a central tenet of the covenant relationship between God and His people. This belief was reflected in the laws given to Israel, which emphasized justice and fairness. The notion of divine recompense also provided hope and motivation for the faithful, encouraging them to live righteously in anticipation of God's just reward.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/1576.htm">gemul</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a dealing, recompense<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deeds (1), recompense (1), reward (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גְּמוּלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font><sup>2Sam 19:37</sup> <font size="+1"><b>dealing, recompence</b></font> — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ג</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/19-37.htm">2 Samuel 19:37</a> compare <font class="hebrew2">גָּמַל</font>;
