''troop'' and ''coriander''. It might seem impossible for two words to be so different yet be identical in form, but not when talking of metaphor. By the letters Gad means ''pursue ג the teaching/command ד''. The troop, or soldier, pursues obeying the command. Coriander was the flavor of manna. Israel obeyed God when they gathered manna, but there is more to it. Manna is the second unleavened bread. Jesus taught that the bread was his body given/broken for us AND Jesus is the Word. As they gathered manna they painted a picture of pursuing THE WORD. | ''troop'' and ''coriander''.

Primary metaphor
Discerning the meaning of this letter is a bit more difficult since the gimel is the only letter with the lower diagonal stroke. Other letter which have Y's in them represent a joining of holiness and love, whereas this one in inverted. Using that principle the first thing coming from heaven was split into holiness and grace. The holiness hits the point of the cross and is satisfied. The diagonal hits the baseline of the Square Text Template somewhere in the middle.
This structure is suggestive that that first creative word did the work, and somewhere in the middle of mankind, perhaps in numbers , perhaps in time, he poured out his love. Traditionally, the gimel has meant a rich man chasing after a poor man. This is interesting as the word 'gimel means camel. And when a rich man chased Jesus, the poor man, Jesus made a riddle of a camel.
Experimentally, pursue appears to work well. God satisfied his own holiness and pursued man with his love.
