The verse of the name

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

גַּם וַשְׁתִּי הַמַּלְכָּה עָשְׂתָה מִשְׁתֵּה נָשִׁים בֵּית הַמַּלְכוּת אֲשֶׁר לַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ׃

“Queen Vashti, too, gave a banquet for the women in the royal palace of King Ahasuerus.”

Esther 1:9
