From the letter Gimel to the letter Lamed

An ancient custom gives each person a verse: the one that begins with the first letter of their name and ends with the last. For Gavriel, from ג to ל:

גּוֹעֵר בַּיָּם וַיַּבְּשֵׁהוּ וְכׇל־הַנְּהָרוֹת הֶחֱרִיב אֻמְלַל בָּשָׁן וְכַרְמֶל וּפֶרַח לְבָנוֹן אֻמְלָל׃

“He rebukes the sea and dries it up, He makes all the rivers run dry; Bashan and Carmel wither, and the blossom of Lebanon fades.”

Nahum 1:4
