The 6th beracha of the Amidah is not "selah" - rather "selicha". Some transliterate the Hebrew "selach" (imperative verb - forgive!) as selah; so in the Amidah we have "selach lanu avinu" - "forgive us our Father"

The article is refering to the second to last blessing right before the prayer for peace. "v'khol ha'chaim yedukha selah". Jon513 20:55, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] holding Selah?

In the song Selah by the Ethiopians, the Ras Tafari is said to hold "Selah". I have difficulty interpreting the meaning of the lyric:

Want to leave out Babylon
I am tired of Babylon
Want to leave out Babylon
Oh because the Saviour hold
Selah

Is the Saviour "holding" the Selah? What is meant by this? Any thoughts?--Sonjaaa 17:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
