Gideon

The first is that Gideon, despite his destructive nature, is reading and learning from the bible (which, in light of his later awareness of the plagues and the imaginative connections he makes to contempory life, is not altogether unthinkable). This in turn might start a road to improvement from his current lifestyle.
This could mean that Gideon is simply filling in his gaps about reggae music, (not unlikely given that he is made out to be a drug user from later tracks and reggae music is often associated with cannabis), and not appreciating the deeper meaning of the text.
