From the letter Ayin to the letter He

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 Adah, from ע to ה:

עֹטֶה־אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָה׃

“He wraps Himself in light as in a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.”

Psalms 104:2
