Double Gimel
The letter Gimel is the third letter in the Hebrew alphabet and is the source of the Greek letter Gamma. The Gimel is about the Cause and Effect or "justified repayment" of creation. The word Gimel means to be "kind or benevolent" because that brings blessings. If we are "cruel and covetous" there will be consequences. The good consequences are called blessings the bad we call the Wrath of God.
Hebrew is spelled GimelYodMemLamed. It is said to be written as a man running after a poor man to give him charity. A double Gimel by itself has been translated "roof", גג, which is a covering.
The "Double Gimel" is said to also be one of three paths to wisdom. The root word chagag ChetGimelGimel[1] but in the text if in Exodus 5:1 we see wə·yā·ḥōg·gū VavYodHeyGimelGimel.
The noun גג (gag) denotes most commonly the flat roof[2] of a building on which things can take place; usually to do with idolatrous worship (Judges 16:27, Joshua 2:6, 2 Samuel 11):2, 2 Kings 23 ... Gog and Magog appear with two Gimels divided by a Vav: Agag, Hamon-gog.
