From the letter Nun to the letter He

An ancient custom gives each person a verse: the one that begins with the first letter of their name and ends with the last. For Norma, from נ to ה:

נְקִי כַפַּיִם וּבַר־לֵבָב אֲשֶׁר לֹא־נָשָׂא לַשָּׁוְא נַפְשִׁי וְלֹא נִשְׁבַּע לְמִרְמָה׃

“One who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.”

Psalms 24:4
