The Third Day of Creation is marked by two events: the gathering of the waters, and the creation of food.

To understand why the Spirit wasThe other meanings carried by the letter Gimel have a somewhat more somber sense to them. The goodness and kindness of God often manifests in ways that his children would rather not, much as mother might deny her breast to the child when it is time to wean. The child can not understand why he is denied what has been the source of all his comfort and sustenance! Yet the love of the mother demand that she wean her child. This is knows nothing kindness of a Further insight into the meaning of Gimel is found in the ancient book called The Bahir, dated to sometime before the 6th century AD. The following dialogue, translated by Rabbi Kaplan, expounds on the meaning of Gimel in a short series of questions and answers:
Q: Why is Gimel third?
A: It has three parts, teaching us that it bestows (gomel) kindness.
Q: But did Rabbi Akiba not say Gimel has three parts because it bestows, grows, and sustains? It is thus written (Genesis 21:8) "The lad grew and was bestowed."
A: He said: He says the same as I do. He grew and bestowed kindness to his neighbors and those entrusted to him.
This dialogue plays off two of the primary meanings of gomel, to bestow kindness and to wean, the latter being how the King James translates it in Genesis 21.8. With regards to this latter interpretation, Rabbi Ginsburgh states that "The word gamul (lwmg) means a 'nursing infant,' alluding to the soul receiving nourishment from its Source. Paradoxically, it also means 'to wean.' These seemingly opposite concepts of nursing and weaning, giving oneself to another and subsequently removing oneself and one's gift, are a reflection of reward and (constructive) punishment." Here, Ginsburgh is referring to the meaning of gamul as reward. This meaning manifests on Spoke 3 of the Minor Wheel of Isaiah, which contains the first occurrence of gamul in that great book:

3 contains the first occurrence of the root gamal (lmg), translated as

The sequence that began with the Aleph (ba, Father) and Beyit (/b, Son) continues Just as the character of the Father, Abba, is revealed in the letter Aleph, and the character of the Son, Ben, emerges from Beyit, so the nature of the Third Person of the Godhead, God the Holy Spirit, God the Abundant Giver, is revealed in this letter.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Water, Wind, and Fire
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Matthew 3
All the symbols of the Holy Spirit have one thing in common, fluidity.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
This is the greatest gift of all, freely given to every believer, as it is written:
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
The symbolic link between the Holy Spirit and Water, Wine, and Oil is reiterated throughout Scripture. In Matthew 3, the Holy Spirit descended upon the Lord Jesus in the form of a dove immediately after he was baptized in water. At Pentecost, the believers who had been filled with the Holy Ghost were accused of being drunk on new wine, a charge Peter denied by saying "it is but the third hour of the day." This association is also found numerous times in the Pauline Epistles, as when he said "be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit," and again, when he said we "have been all made to drink into one Spirit." The Lord Jesus Christ affirmed these associations, saying,
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
From the beginning, when "the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters," On the Third Day of Creation, when God said,
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Ultimately, the Waters are a symbol of "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Thus, we understand the function of the Holy Spirit is to gather his people,

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

II Corinthians 9.6

The name of the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Gimel (), is drawn from a word with the same spelling, gamal, which means

Matthew 3
Examining Matthew's chapter sequence offers great insight into the structure of the Wheel. in light of the Wheel yields great insight into f Chapters in Matthew describes John the Baptist as "having a raiment of camel's hair," which immediately links this Spoke to the name of its governing letter Gimel, the Camel. to so that the inner Wheel of Matthew is linked with the name of the Third Letter much like which marks him as thereby marking the chapter as
The first occurrence of the pair of words holy and fire in the New Testament are found in Matthew 3.11, (quoted above), in which the chapters of Matthew continue to follow the pattern first established in the Hebrew alphabet and then in the order of the Canon, the structure of the Wheel, and ultimately, the internal structure of the eternal Godhead, who gave us this mathematically perfect revelation.

Graph 3.3 displays the distribution of the words holy and holiness in the Bible. These two words occur a total of 647 times with the maximum, a full 33% larger than the secondary peak, word count of 94 being found on Spoke 3 in the book of Leviticus.
When the Lord Jesus was preparing his disciples for his crucifixion, he told them that he would send the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who would "reprove the world of sin" (John 16:18). As a sinner, it is often difficult to see how he that reproves me of sin could be called my comforter. On the surface, most of us see the conviction of sin as a kind of torment or even torture. Part of the problem stems from But "reprove" is

The Fall of the Virgin Daughter of Zion

This is in stark contrast with the primary theme found on the second Cycle of Spoke 3 in Book of Lamentations, which record ?? as seen in these characteristic verses. In Lamentations 1.2 we read:
She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
And again, in Lamentations 1.16f:
For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her.
And yet again, in Lamentations 1.21:
They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it:
For God to give us a full orbed understanding of the Holy Spirit, he must show us what life is like when he is bestowed upon us, and when he is removed. This is the relation between Lamentations and II Corinthians.
Just as sin originated in Genesis 3, so Romans 3 convicts the world of sin, saying that "all the world" is "guilty before God," for "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Thus the Holy Spirit is to come to "reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment." The tragedy of disobeying God, and receiving his wrath rather than his blessing is portrayed for us in the most vivid detail in Lamentations, which manifest the absence of the Spirit as vividly as II Corinthians displays his presence. This astounding pattern began with the fall in Genesis 3
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Thus II Corinthians represents Gamul in the sense of Beneficence, and Lamentations represents Gamul in the sense of Retribution. In both cases the Comforter is emphasised; present in the former and absent in the latter.

Throughout Scripture God repeatedly warns us that the penalty for sin would be banishment into eternal fire. Fire is the punishment God The first sin man ever committed is recorded in Genesis 3
Jesus Himself, plead with us to turn from sin,
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
Isaiah 3
Isaiah 3 begins with the ominous warning of famine, saying that the whole stay and the whole staff shall be broken. This corresponds exactly with the events described when the third Seal is broken in Revelation 6:????.
Just as the first occurrence of the second letter Bet is in Isaiah 2, so the first occurrence of the third letter gimel, is found in Isaiah 3. In

The Fruit of the Spirit
As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.
The Third Day of Creation contains the genesis of the things pertaining to the Spirit of God. It was on this day that God gathered the Waters, which is revealed in the last book of the Bible as a symbol of "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." This reflects the function of the Holy Spirit, who gathers the people of God into one communion, as it is written:
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Thus, "the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." The relation to the Number Three is reiterated in the verse that says, "
The Number Three refers to the People of God, as it is written,
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Thus Ammiel (laymu), whose name signifies the people (<u, Am), of God (la, El), was the son of Gamalli (ylmg).
This is the promise first given in Leviticus,
And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
It is reiterated in II Corinthians,
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
In fact, these verses are connected with the following KeyLink:
Leviticus - KeyLink() - II Corinthians

The same pattern emerges from the sequence of the Psalms, where reference to the God's People first occurs in Psalm 3:
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
Just as Psalm 2 refers to God the Son, so Psalm 3 refers to God the Holy Spirit, who is "a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." Though Psalm 3 records that my enemies taunt that "there is no help for him in God (Elohim)," I know that He is my Helper, my Elohim, the sweet, comforting, ever-present Spirit of God..

The themes found on the Third Spoke reveal the nature of the Holy Spirit. The creation of Fruit on the Third Day coheres with the function of the Holy Spirit who produces fruit in the life of the people of God. It is he that nourishes us, feeds us, guides and teaches us in the doctrine of Christ. In general, the Third Day represents the creation of food. Thus, in both Genesis and Isaiah, bread first occurs in Chapter 3, and we have the following link:
Genesis 3 - Debut(Bread) - Isaiah 3
Unfortunately, the these passages also contain a common theme,

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

The Fruit of our Actions
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Isaiah 3
Fruit first appears in Scripture on the Third Day of Creation when God said "". The origin of fruit on the Third Day inextricably links this idea with the Third Person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. is is the genesis of one of the greatest themes governing the Third Spoke. It next appears in the Genesis 3, with the tragic consequences we are all too familiar with. This follows the same pattern as the word sign, which first appears on Day 4, and then next appears in Genesis 4.
Genesis 3 - Link(Fruit) - Day 3

Isaiah 3- Debut(Fruit) - Day 3

Just as Beyt first occurs in Isaiah(2), so Gimel, in the form gamul, first occurrs in Chapter 3. Like the Major Wheel, the Minor Wheel of Isaiah is intimately structured on the pattern of the alphabet. This is one of the most Within the Book of Isaiah, the first occurrence of the root gamul is found in this verse from Chapter 3.

On the Third Day God created food to sustain us, corresponding to the famine unleashed when the Third Seal was broken.

The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
As in Genesis 3, the sin spoken of here in Isaiah 3 relates to eating. This yields the following linked debut:
Genesis 3 - Debut(eaten) - Isaiah 3
It is significant that the verb eat appears in the commandment given in Genesis 2, and in a promise in Isaiah 1, but the past tense form, indicating that the sin has been accomplished, jointly debuts in Genesis 3 - Isaiah 3.
Not only does this sin violate the principle God established in II Corinthians when he taught us about giving to the poor, but it also violates the specific law concerning benevolence towards the poor that God gave in the Book of Leviticus:
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.

The various shades of meaning associated with this term give great insight into the character of the Holy Spirit. Each divine Person of the Holy Trinity has his own character, of which we often lose sight because of the Unity of the Three. Yet the great mystery is that though there is One God, there are in the Godhead three Persons, each with His own personality and function in the grand scheme of creation. All things are from the Father, through the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit. As explained by Thayer, Parakletos literally means "summoned, called to ones side, especially called to one's aid." It is from the root para (para, by, beside, near) prefixed to kalew (kaleo, to call). Thus, the Holy Spirit
