Gimel is the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet and means “benefactor”. It comes from the word “GENUL” which means giving of reward and punishment, implying man’s freewill of choice. Gimel is said to show a rich man running after a poor man to give charity. Gimel also means “walk, gather, lift up, to benefit, self-will or pride”. It is represented by a picture of a foot or a camel. In Psalm 119, Gimel means “bestow on, deal bountifully, reward, serve, wean, weaned child”.

It reads in Psalm 119:17-24 NIV: ג Gimel “Benefactor.”
Be good to your servant while I live, that I may obey your word. Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law. I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me. My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times. You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed, those who stray from your commands. Remove from me their scorn and contempt, for I keep your statutes. Though rulers sit together and slander me, your servant will meditate on your decrees. Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.
