BETH-GA'MUL (house of camel), a town of Moab, Jer 48:23; perhaps Um-el-Jemal, near Bozrah, an unwalled town, having some of the most remarkable ruins in that country, houses, streets, walls, and gates deserted, but in perfect preservation. See Jer 48:21-25. Grove, however, thinks Jemal too far north-east to be Gamul.
