The verse of the name

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

סִגִים הִשְׁבַּתָּ כׇל־רִשְׁעֵי־אָרֶץ לָכֵן אָהַבְתִּי עֵדֹתֶיךָ׃

“Like dross You have removed all the wicked of the earth; therefore I love Your testimonies.”

Psalms 119:119
