A DEALING that comes back — a recompense, what one has done returning onto one's own head. From gamal, 'to deal out, requite' (also 'to wean, ripen' — to bring a thing to its completion). ⚠ It is the hinge of Obadiah: 'as you have done, it will be done to you; your GEMUL will return upon your own head' (1:15) — the boomerang of exact, measure-for-measure justice, the deed circling back to its doer. The same principle the Sermon on the Mount restates ('the measure you give will be the measure you get,' Matthew 7:2). KJV 'thy reward shall return'; NIV 'your deeds will return.' → first discussed at Obadiah 1:15
