The verse of the name

From the letter Tzadi to the letter Samekh

An ancient custom gives each person a verse: the one that begins with the first letter of their name and ends with the last. No verse without a divine Name runs exactly from צ to ס: we then take the closest letter by sound, here from צ to ש.

צַו אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִישַׁלְּחוּ מִן־הַמַּחֲנֶה כׇּל־צָרוּעַ וְכׇל־זָב וְכֹל טָמֵא לָנָפֶשׁ׃

“Command the children of Israel to send out of the camp everyone with a skin affliction, everyone with a discharge, and everyone made impure by contact with the dead.”
