The verse of the name

From the letter Yod to the letter Zayin

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 י to ז: we then take the closest letter by sound, here from י to צ.

יֻקַּח־נָא מְעַט־מַיִם וְרַחֲצוּ רַגְלֵיכֶם וְהִשָּׁעֲנוּ תַּחַת הָעֵץ׃

“Let a little water be brought; wash your feet and rest beneath the tree.”

Genesis 18:4
