Sunday is also the thirteenth day of the fourteenth 22-day cycle of the year, related to the letter Nun Sofit (the final Nun). The following verse from Chapter 3 of the Book of Lamentations is connected to the thirteenth letter, the Mem:
13. [It was] for the sins of her prophets, the iniquities of her priests, who shed in her midst the blood of the righteous.
יג. מֵחַטֹּאת נְבִיאֶיהָ עֲוֹנֹת כֹּהֲנֶיהָ הַשֹּׁפְכִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ דַּם צַדִּיקִים:
13. [To depart] from the sins - her prophets, [from] the iniquities - her priests, who shed in her midst the blood [of the sacrifices] of the righteous.
