Hebrew and Aramaic Protective Prayers

[Archive witness: an ancient protective or ritual text, preserved as historical evidence — not doctrine, and not for practice.]

Protective prayers in Hebrew and Aramaic, spoken or written for the keeping of a person or a house. Representative wording:

Guard me, O LORD, as the apple of the eye;

hide me in the shadow of your wings

from the wicked who would destroy me.

Let your angels encamp around me,

and deliver me; for I take refuge in you.

“In the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: let this house be guarded by night and by day; let no harm come near the door, and no plague come near the dwelling. [Text missing]”
