=== Double Lamed ===

Another [[double letters|double letter]] is the [[double Lamed]].

We see this letter as {{Lamed}}

The letter "[[lamed]]" is some times seen as a picture of a shepherd's staff and since a shepherd may represent a kind of King or prophet the letter may reference authority or teaching.

A double letter may denote something eternal or perpetual. An example of this is seen in the Hebrew word galal (gimellamedlamed), which means "to roll".<Ref name="galal">{{01556}}</Ref>  Gimel" is representing [[cause and effect]] which includes perpetual momentum of continuous action and with a [[double Lamed]] suggesting that this is in both physical and spiritual realms.

The Hebrew root of “curse”<Ref name="qalal">{{07043}}</Ref> is קלל but there is also another word that is translated ''curse''  from the Hebrew word ''arar''<Ref name="arar">{{0779}}</Ref> with a [[double Reish]]. The Hebrew root of “desecrate” is חלל . The only difference between these two roots is their first letter, chet (ח ) and kuf (ק ). Both words end with a double lamed (ל ).

To praise, "halal"<Ref name="halal">{{01984}}</Ref> we see a window of revelation with the letter "hey." When God is revealed to us, perpetual praise is the result. In keeping with the double "lamed" symbolizing authority, we see the revelation of Him going forth carrying authority.

[[Isaiah 64]]:11  "Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised <[[01984]]> thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste."

[[Exodus 20]]: 25 "And if thou wilt make me an [[Altars|altar]] of [[Stones|stone]], thou shalt not build it of hewn stone<Ref name="gaziyth">{{01496}}</Ref>: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it."<Ref name="chalal">{{02490}}</Ref>

[[Ecclesiastes1]]:17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness(וְהוֹלֵל֤וֹת)<Ref name="howlelah">{{01947}}</Ref> and folly(סִכְלוּת)<Ref name="cikluwth">{{05531}}</Ref>: I perceived that this also is vexation(רַעְיוֹן‎)<Ref name="rayown">{{07451}}</Ref>  of spirit.

* Howlelah [[01947]](וְהוֹלֵל֤וֹ)<Ref name="howlelah">{{01947}}</Ref>  only appears in [[Ecclesiastes]] basically the word for ''shine''<Ref name="halal">{{01984}}</Ref> with a Vav between the Hey and [[double Lamed]].
* The Tav at the end of hōwlêlōwṯ וְהוֹלֵל֤וֹת could be understood as a feminine plural and may suggest a Mystery wanting to be revealed. [[Ecclesiastes 1]]:17, [[Ecclesiastes 7]]:25
