The verse of the name

From the letter Dalet 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 ד to ס: we then take the closest letter by sound, here from ד to ש.

דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ יִהְיֶה לָכֶם שַׁבָּתוֹן זִכְרוֹן תְּרוּעָה מִקְרָא־קֹדֶשׁ׃

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a day of rest, a remembrance with the sounding of the horn, a holy gathering.”

Leviticus 23:24
