God is separated from his people because they do not understand that he alone is God. In order to help them understand, he speaks ד, he reveals ר, and he teaches ל. This is so important to understand. God teaches. He desires for us to know him. [1] His teaching is propositional in nature. [2] [3] [4] [5] That means he says stuff. He does not just leave it to us to discover stuff.
Here is the boring stuff:
When drawn by hand, the lamed ל starts above the upper horizontal with a small yod י signifying that the teaching does not originate with what can be known about God, but it's source is in the heart of the Father that we will never see. It descends as a vav וon the left since God's teaching starts in holiness. The horizontal stroke is between the upper and lower horizontals of the square text template, signifying that teaching is done at the place you can understand it. It is a shared heart, the one learning, desires to do so. The lower portion curves to the left like a small qof ק. In both it is the Son of God who dies, but in the lamed ל it does not descend into actual death, below the lower bound,since it is just the teaching of the cross.
