The verse of the name
From the letter Gimel to the letter Gimel
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 ג to ג: we then take the closest letter by sound, here from ג to ק.
גֵּוִי נָתַתִּי לְמַכִּים וּלְחָיַי לְמֹרְטִים פָּנַי לֹא הִסְתַּרְתִּי מִכְּלִמּוֹת וָרֹק׃
“I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who plucked out my beard; I did not hide my face from insults and spitting.”
Isaiah 50:6
