Double Beit
The letter Beit is an expression of a primary "Purpose" in the since of where you are at as an individual which can often be seen by the nature of your house. Just as your heart dwells in you you dwell somewhere too. So the question may arise as to if your house is of God's house.
To see a double Beit, as with most double letters, might suggest that your house is both your house and the house of God or that your purpose is the same as God's purpose. You would not be living according to the righteousness you gleaned from the tree of knowledge but from the righteousness of God you perceived from eating of the tree of life.
One of the first times we see a double Beit is in Genesis 1:26 "of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth" (וּבַבְּהֵמָה֙)[1]. We also see it again in Exodus 13:2 "Sanctify[2] unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast[1]: it is mine."
The idea of sanctify[2] the first born[3] is to be set apart or to Consecrate or to dedicate. God is requiring that you dedicate to the altar of God for the practice of Pure Religion the first born of "man and of beast".
To consecrate both "man and of beast" to God for his purpose is to give life because the God of creation is Spirit and it is spirit that giveth life.[4]
The common word for beast is chay ChetYod[5] but here we see the word behemah BeitHeyMemHey[1] but in this text we see VavBeitBeitHeyMemHey or ūḇabbəhêmāh; (וּבַבְּהֵמָ֑ה) which contains a double Beit. See Exodus 13 study.
Another word is first seen in Exodus 14:5 "the heart(לְבַ֨ב)[6] of Pharaoh and of his servants". Earlier we saw "Pharaoh's heart(לְב)[7]" in verse 4 but with the double Beit it is not merely the heart but the inner heart and mind(לְבַ֨ב)[6].
