Dictionary G Gazelem/Gazelam A gazelem is “a stone, which shall shine forth in darkness unto light” (Alma 17:55 RAV, 37:23 OPV). It appears to be a type of or another name for a seer stone, as Alma states the stone will allow the user to see secret works, works of darkness, and wickedness and abominations. This is likely an ancient term for a seer stone. Joseph Smith used the name Gazelam (with an “a”) as one of his code names in certain Sections of the Doctrine and Covenants for the Church of Latter Day Saints. This name was likely based on this stone. See 4 Moses 30:9, 33:10, 41:6-12; Alma 17:55 RAV, 37:23 OPV; Doctrines of the Saints 43:6, 47:12. See also Seer stone. Gevurah Hebrew, “Judgement.” Gevurah is Din, the essence of judgment. If we are saved, the Holy Spirit cleanses us with Fire. However, if we are wicked we are burned as those same flames become Hellfire. Gevurah then is both God’s mode of perfecting the Saints and punishing the wicked; judging humanity in general. It is the fulfillment of the Law, and strict meting out of justice. It stands in contrast to Chesed, though Christ’s mercy in Chesed will protect us from Genurah’s fire. It is because of Chesed that Gevurah is associated with the power to bestow goodness upon others, the cleansing fire becoming Christ’s light of Creation. Gevurah allows one to overcome the true enemies, be they from without (Satan) or from within (Ego). See Book of Remembrance 4:59, 29:5, 9, 33:16-18. Gimel/3 Gimel is the third letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number three. Bet represents duality, which can create conflict, thus Ghimel becomes the resolution, the harmonizing of opposites. Aleph is the oneness of God, Bet the Father and Mother, Father and Son, Father and Mother, Christ and the Holy Spirit, etc. Ghimel links and balances these, creating the trinity or Godhead. Now we can see the Father & Mother, Son, and Holy Spirit. Ghimel is the balance between opposing powers, a letter of constant transformation. It is the change within us as we grow in Grace. It translates literally as “camel,” an animal humans use for travel. Thus, it carries us on our journey (teshuvah) back to God. Gimel also introduces us to the opposites of giving and receiving, reward and punishment. It gives us both a balance and motion between these opposite ideas. It represents dual ideologies such as kindness and cultivation. It is said that Ghimel is shaped like a foot to represent a rich man running after a poor man to give him charity. This can be both God as the rich man giving us charity in salvation, or a human following God’s command to selflessly give of all we have (Mosiah 2:28-36 RAV, 4:16-21 OPV). Glory of YHVH The Glory of God is portion of God's essence visible here on the earth, the terrestrial plane. This term can be used to state one is in the Presence of God, the Shekinah, or filled with the Holy Spirit. Example, the glory of YHVH filling the tabernacle in Exodus 34-35/3 Moses 46-47. It should not be seen as honor, wealth, or status, as that would be the finite, human understanding.
