Gimel is the third letter of many Semitic alphabets, including Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew ג, Syriac ܓ and Arabic ǧīm ج (in alphabetical order; 5th in spelling order). Its sound value in the original Phoenician and in all derived alphabets, save Arabic, is a voiced velar plosive [ɡ]; in Modern Standard Arabic, it represents [d͡ʒ]
In its unattested Proto-Canaanite form, the letter may have been named after a weapon that was either a staff sling or a throwing stick, ultimately deriving from a Proto-Sinaitic glyph based on the hieroglyph below:
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek gamma (Γ), the Latin C and G, and the Cyrillic Г.
Hebrew spelling: גִּימֵל
Some[who?] theorize that the letter comes from a camel, called a "gamal" in Hebrew. [1] The letter may be the shape of the walking animal's head, neck, and forelegs.
The letter gimel is one of the six letters which can receive a Dagesh Kal. The six are Bet, Gimel, Daled, Kaph, Pe, and Taf. Three of them (Bet, Kaph, and Pe) have their sound value changed in modern Hebrew from the fricative to the plosive by adding a dagesh. The other three represent the same pronunciation in modern Hebrew, but have had alternate pronunciations at other times and places. In the Temani pronunciation, Gimel represents /ɡ/, /ʒ/, or /d͡ʒ/ when with a dagesh, and /ɣ/ without a dagesh. In modern Hebrew, the combination ג׳ (gimel followed by a geresh) is used in loanwords and foreign names to denote [d͡ʒ].

Do good to your servant, and I will live
I will 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 cursed
And who stray from your commands
Remove from me 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
