22 Letters of the Aleph Bais

Parsha Pages | December 10, 2025

שמות טז,טז: זֶה הַדָבָר אֲשֶר צ וָּה יְהֹוָה ל קְטוּ מ מֶנּוּ א יש לְפ י אָכְלוֹ עֹמֶר לַגֻּלְגֹלֶת מ סְפַר נַפְשֹתֵיכֶם א יש לַאֲשֶר בְאָהֳלוֹ ת קָחו

The Baal HaTurim comments that this verse contains all 22 letters of the Aleph Bais, indicating that every person who observes Torah, HaShem provides one’s livelihood without difficultly as He provides the Mahn.

There are twenty-six verses in Tanach that have all 22 letters (only two in Torah: this one and Devarim 4,34). However, only one verse in Zephaniah (3,8) has all 22 letters and all 5 final-form letters.
