SHIMUSH PESUKIM
INDEX OF LITURGICAL AND CEREMONIAL USES OF BIBLICAL VERSES AND PASSAGES

LINKING TORAH TO TEFILLAH


The intention of this work is to provide an extensive index showing where Biblical
verses and chapters have been employed throughout Jewish liturgy and ceremonial
practices.

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.

WHAT IS COVERED HEREIN


This work covers verses or portions thereof from each of the three daily Prayers, the
Shabbos, Yom Tov and Yomim Noraim prayers and the Musafim, verses recited when
putting on the Tallis and Tefillin, Seder Korbonos (order of the offerings), Tachanun
(including Viduy and Nifilas Appayim), verses said corresponding to the first and last
letter of a person's name with alternatives as added to his Amidah as per Sefer Kitzur
Hashlah, verses said when the Torah is taken from or returned to the ark, all Public
Torah and Haftara readings in accordance with the common Ashkenazi, Sephardi and
Yemenite (Teimoni) customs, Shir Shel Yom (Psalm of the Day) including those for the
Holidays and other special days in accordance with the custom of the Vilna Gaon (Gra)
and as accepted by Ashkenazim in Eretz Yisroel, as well as those found in Dr.
Seligmann Baer's Siddur Avodas Yisroel (AY), the Ma'amodos for each day of the
week, the Six Zechiros (things a person must always remember), the Ten
Commandments, Psalms said on each Sabbath corresponding to that week's Sidra in
accordance with Siddur Avodas Yisroel, Birkas Hamozone (Grace after Meals), Eishes

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.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED HEREIN


This work does not cover Shabbos and Motzoei Shabbos Zemiros, groupings of verses
recited on Motzoei Shabbos including Pisukei Eliyohu Hanovi, verses of Three Words,
eleven verses beginning with the letter Nun, ten verses of the Ramban, three verses of
Rabbeinu Yehuda Hachosid, seven verses from Isaiah beginning and ending with the
letter Chof, prayers from the Zohar, Tikun Chatzos (including Tikun Rochel and
Tikun Leah), Shirei Hayichud and many of the Selichos which contain mostly
fragments of verses, alternative Psalms for the ill, Psalms recited during a drought, and
the plethora of different Piyyutim such as Yotzros, Ofanim, Zulos, Siluk, Krovetz for
Purim, Musafim, etc.

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.

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.
