Summary: Gimel was the only son of Abel and his wife, Yoshibel (B:3:1-7). Gimel was a young infant when his father was murdered by Cain (B:3:6-26). At the Adamic Council, Gimel publicly opposed the election of Cain to lead the Adamic family, and supported Seth instead (AZC — Gimel).

Azrael’s Commentary — Gimel

The only son of Abel, founder of the city Aramis which later became one of the twelve cities of the Sethian Empire. In occupation Gimel was a grower of grapes and maker of wine, having been taught by Eve the secrets of wine making. Gimel was also the creator of the wine maker’s guild. He opposed the election of Cain to the head of the Adamic family and supported Seth instead.

Azrael’s Commentary — Abel

[...] At about the age of forty, Abel married a beautiful woman named Yoshibel and together they had a son which they named Gimel. It was at the marriage of Abel and Yoshibel that Cain bitterly decided to kill his brother Abel as a way to get back at his father Adam (Beginnings 3:1-7).

Azrael’s Commentary — Adamic Council

[...] Cain claimed that he should be the new head of the Adaam by right of being the first born. But Gimel quickly opposed the claim, reminding the Adaam that Cain had murdered his father Abel, and that as a consequence of such an act, Adam had rightly appointed Seth in place of Cain. (AZC — Adamic Council)

Notes/References:

For there lived in the city of peace, a woman whose name was Hazar-Gabatha of the house of Gimel, the son of Abel and Yoshibel.
