The verse of the name

From the letter Kuf to the letter Chet

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 ק to ח: we then take the closest letter by sound, here from ק to כ.

קׇשְׁרֵם עַל־לִבְּךָ תָמִיד עׇנְדֵם עַל־גַּרְגְּרֹתֶךָ׃

“Bind them upon your heart always; tie them around your neck.”

Proverbs 6:21
