A Comprehensive Index
to the
Liturgical and Ceremonial Usages
of
Biblical Verses and Passages
Second Edition
Beginning with the Scriptural reference the student and scholar can now trace how a
verse, phrase, passage or section from the Torah, Prophets and Writings has been used,
in whole or part, in our common and not-so-common prayers, public Torah and
Haftara readings, and our many other rites and blessings.
Our Sages' selection of a particular verse or passage for prayer was surely never
random, but was chosen because it was deemed the absolutely most perfect expression
of the specific religious and spiritual message or emotion required for that unique time,
event, circumstance or ceremony. In this regard, this index should help facilitate a
better understanding of their choices by making more evident the greater Biblical
context wherein which that particular verse or passage resides.

INDEX OF LITURGICAL AND CEREMONIAL USES OF BIBLICAL VERSES AND PASSAGES
Chayil, Seudah Shelishis (the third meal on the Sabbath), Pirkei Ovos (mostly
fragments), Havdala and verses of blessing said on Motzoei Shabbos, particularly those
in the collection beginning with the words Viyiten Lechoh and Ribbon HaOlamim,
Kiddush Levonah (blessing of the New Moon), Krias Shema Al Hamitah (at bedtime),
Hallel, the Five Megillahs, most of the various Selichos including Viduy, many of the
prayers of Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur, Seder Tashlich of Rosh Hashanna,
Seder Kapporos before Yom Kippur, Tefilah Zakkah, the Ushpizin of Succos, the Yehi
Rotzon before taking the Lulav and Esrog, Seder Hoshannos, Attoh Horaisoh of
Simchas Torah, the Pesach/Passover Hagaddah (mostly fragments), Seder Sefiras
Ha'omer, Perek Shirah, Seder Hatavas Chalom (order of making good a bad dream),
prayers said on Yom Kippur Koton, Seder Bris Miloh (circumcision), Seder Pidyon
Haben (redeeming the firstborn son), random blessings upon seeing unusual things,
Psalms for the ill in accordance with the Chasam Sofer (CS) and Siddur Sfas Emes
[Heidenheim] (SE), Tziduk Hadin, passages customarily said at the cemetery in Eretz
Yisroel, and after learning Mishnayos for the deceased, and verses added by some to
the traditional Yizkor service.
It should be noted that collections of verses are particularly found in prayers known as
Hodu, Yehi Kovod, U'voh Letzion, and Viyiten Lechoh.
As a rule, this work also does not include those verses from where a single word or a
small handful of words are used in the Tefillah.

FINAL WORD
It was beyond the scope of this current edition to cover all provincial customs which
have evolved among Jews over the centuries, many of which are still in current use;
although I have attempted to include a great number of variations. Undoubtedly, there
are numerous local customs which are absent herein, such as alternatives in Haftara
readings as in the Italian and Romanian rites, the variants in Minhag Ashkenaz,
particularly the hallowed customs of Frankfurt am Main, the many Sephardic prayers
for special occasions such as Chanukas Habayis or Zeved Habas, etc., prayers which
have been adopted by all the various Chassidic courts, and so forth. Still, readers are
encouraged to inform me of key omissions and errors for future editions which may
include the full verses and usages in Hebrew.
Finally, in preparing this work, I found it most curious that all the books of Tanach are
represented in our liturgy with the singular exception of the book of Nachum.

Abbreviations:
AY = Siddur Avodas Yisroel, Dr. Seligmann Baer, Rodelheim
CS = Chassam Sofer
SE = Siddur Sfas Emes, Rabbi Wolf Heidenheim, Rodelheim
NOTE:
A hyphen (-) separating chapters, e.g., Genesis 1:1 – 6:8, indicates that the verses therein are, in fact, used
in that order in the liturgy.
However, if a hyphen only separates verses, e.g., Genesis 22:16-18 for Selichos, it only means that verses
from this group are somewhere used, but not necessarily in same order as they are in Scriptures.
Cover page is a map of Rodelheim, Germany, 1800, contemporaneous with the time that R' Wolf
Heidenheim, pioneer publisher and exegete of Mahzorim, Siddurim, Pentateuchs and other basic
Jewish texts, was establishing his famous printing press at this location.
