(Beth-gaʹmul) [House of One Weaned (or, One Receiving Due Treatment)].

A city mentioned in connection with Jehovah’s pronouncements against Moab. It is listed together with Dibon and other cities of “the land of level country” of Moab. (Jer 48:21, 23) It is generally identified with Jumaiyil, on the tableland region of Moab about 13 km (8 mi) E of Dibon (Dhiban). This region just N of the Arnon shows evidence of intense cultivation in ancient times.
