The phrase

וְכָל בַּשָּׁלִשׁ עֲפַר הָאָרֶץ

from ישעיהו מ יב (used in the haftara of Vaeschanan) is very familiar to me from prayers, and I can't think where it's from. Moreover, Google is not helping. Does anyone know where it's found in the prayers? (Not the daily or weekly prayers: it must be from some special-occasion prayer.)

  • Just to clarify, the kamatz in Vechal is not a kamatz katan. The word means to measure (like the herbew word מיכל) and is not the hebrew word for 'all'.

It's in אמרו לאלקים for Yom Kippur Shacharis. (I thought it's also in the Yotzer for Shabbos Shekalim, and the idea is indeed there, but not the exact phrase.)

  • Thank you!! It was driving me nuts, trying to remember. (I'd looked at Sh'kalim already, but didn't have, at hand, a version with the long piyut before k'dusha, so I thought it might be there, which is why I didn't mention my research and stop others from repeating it.)
