In Matthew 06:03-04, Jesus makes a Hebrew pun with the words “doing” and “your gift.”

“Doing” ימינן
“Your Gift” מתנן

Matthew 6:3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing {“Doing” (ימינן)}, 4 so that your charitable deed {“Your Gift” (מתנן)} may be in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
