Rashi, on Jer 51:12

“Upon the walls of Babylon set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.”

“for the Lord both planned already many days. and did His plan. It is customary for Scripture to speak with the word גַם twice, one after the other, and following the latter, comes the former.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
