42-Letter
Name Amulet: this amulet starts with the Chasidic invocation
BEHANU: "With the help of G-d we shall achieve and succeed".
The circumference is G-d's 42-letter Name. It is derived from
the hymn Ana Bekoah, using the first letter of each word.
Traditionally this inscription is followed by "Praised
be His glorious sovereignty throughout all times". The
next three lines are names of angels: Yophiel, Urpaniel and
Raphael (for healing). This amulet is thought to protect
against pollution, internal or external, with the words from
Psalm 49:6. The closing inscriptions are: "A shield
(protection) for the bearer of this amulet" and "
May it be Thy will, Amen".Superscription: BEHANU, With the help of G-d we shall achieve and succeed. (Initial letters.)
