5 Verses of Rabbeinu Hida Against Ayin Hara—Corresponding to the “Hamsa”

5 Pesukim of Rabbeinu Hida Against Ayin Hara—Corresponding to the “Hamsa”

Rabbeinu Hida (may his merit protect us) teaches that a person who has suddenly been struck by the evil eye should add three passages to the two passages from the tractate of Berakhot and recite the following “hamsa” (five) pesukim: 1. Tractate Berakhot 20 אני בא מצאצאי יוסף - “Ani ba mitze'etza'ei Yosef” - (I am descended from the descendants of Yosef); 2. Bereshit 49:22 בֵּ֤ן פֹּרָת֙ יוֹסֵ֔ף בֵּ֥ן פֹּרָ֖ת עֲלֵי־עָ֑יִן בָּנ֕וֹת צָעֲדָ֖ה עֲלֵי־שֽׁוּר - “Ben porat Yosef, ben porat alei ayin, banot tsa'adah alei shur” – (Yosef, a fruitful shoot, a fruitful shoot by a spring); 3. Bereshit (25:27) וְיַעֲקֹב֙ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֔ם יֹשֵׁ֖ב אֹהָלִֽים - “Veyaakov ish tam yoshev ohalim” - (and Yaakov was a wholesome man, dwelling in tents); 4. Tehillim 5:8 וַאֲנִ֗י בְּרֹ֣ב חַ֭סְדְּךָ אָב֣וֹא בֵיתֶ֑ךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֥ה אֶל־הֵֽיכַל־קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָ - “Va'ani berov chasdecha, avo vetecha, eshtachaveh el heikhal kodshecha beyiratecha” - (But I, through Your abundant kindness, will enter Your house; I will bow toward Your holy Sanctuary in awe of You); 5. Bamidbar 24:2 וַיִּשָּׂא בִלְעָם אֶת עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֹׁכֵן לִשְׁבָטָיו וַתְּהִי עָלָיו רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים - “Vayisa Bilam et einav vayar et Yisrael shokhen lishvatav vatehi alav ruach Elokim” – (Bilam raised his eyes and saw Israel dwelling according to its tribes, and the spirit of G-d came upon him). In addition, Rabbeinu Hida teaches that since it is customary to recite the five aforementioned passages against ayin hara, it has become customary to hang in one's home a wooden amulet in the shape of a hand with 5 fingers—a “hamsa”—with the letter ׳ה carved into it, whose numerical value is 5.   (Ben Ish Chai, Laws According to the Weekly Torah Portions—Naso)
