Gimel     G

The 3rd letter, Gimel (H1580), is an image/pictograph of the land being born/raised from the water that covered all ‘Aretz (Earth) in the beginning (Gen 1:2, 9, 10) [ref]. It looks like an English/Roman ‘C’ turned on its side, but sounds like a ‘G.’ On the 3rd day, the LORD raised/resurrected the land from under the water and raised plants and trees from the dirt (Gen 1:9, 10, 11, 12, 13). Man was born from the body of land that was born from water when the LORD formed man from the dirt and raised man from the dust of the land 3 days later on the sixth day (Gen 1:26, 311; 2:7).

This is why the legs raising up from the feet of man standing on the dust of ‘Aretz (Earth) raise up to the body in an image seen as the beginning form of Gimel.

This image is also seen in any two spread fingers of the hand raising into the hand (see Yod).

Man is raised out of the water of the womb in 300 days ([37-1]x7=252, [44-1]x7=301, focus is on 300). After 3 days, the LORD YESHUA resurrected HIS earthly body from the grave, giving life/resurrection to those who are born again in ha’MASHIAH (the CHRIST) (Jhn 2:19; Rom 6:4; Jhn 3:3, 5; 2 Cor 5:17). The land arising from water was the first resurrection/birth from water. The second resurrection/birth is from the water of the womb (birth). The baptism in the name of YESHUA is the 3rd resurrection/birth from water.

Understanding the meaning of Gimel/3 being to raise up with reward lets us comprehend why the birth/resurrection/raising-up of Yisra’el (Israel) from the Suph Sea (End/Conclusion-Sea; Reed-SeaGulf-of-Aqaba) out of Mitzrayim (Egypt) occurred 3000 years after mankind was created (Ex 12:17; 13:18; 14:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29) [H1580].

While the focus of Gimel is to raise up, the land that was raised up on the 3rd day created valleys under the water. So, this letter can also refer to bring down for punishment. At the same time Yisra’el (Isra’el) was raised up for reward, Mitzrayim (Egypt) was brought down for punishment (Ex 14: 30, 31).
