Question
1. A person reading verses from the Chumash/Prophets, is it permissible to mention the Name of God? 2. Is it permissible if the person recites the verse from memory and not from a book?
Answer
Hello
One who recites a complete verse may mention the Name of God.
It is forbidden to recite verses by heart unless the verse is well-known and recognized.
When it is permissible to recite by heart, one may also mention the Name of God.
