Is there any single verse in Chumash that contains all 22 letters of the aleph-beis?

Question

Thanks for that. Perhaps this comment should go there, but I noticed that there is no שׂ (sin) in that possuk, only שׁ (shins). This is perhaps a topic of discussion itself - whether they can be regarded as two independent letters, but on the side that they are, would be that some words, when spelled with these have completely unrelated meanings, ex. שׂם (he placed) Vs. שׁם (there). — Shady Chareidi, Jan 03 '21 at 22:56
@ShadyChareidi if you want to count שׂ and שׁ separately, then you will have a lot more than 22 letters in your aleph-beis. — simyou, Jan 04 '21 at 11:53
Not necessarily. In any given word, interchanging beis with veis, or pey with fey, or kaf with chaf etc will never dramatically change the core meaning of the word. But Shin with sin can result in such a categorical change. — Shady Chareidi, Jan 04 '21 at 15:50
שׂ Is more a version of ס than of שׁ. See https://judaism.stackexchange.com/q/4286 — Micha Berger, Mar 16 '22 at 15:17

Thank you. How did you find that? – Shady Chareidi Jan 03 '21 at 22:32 — Shady Chareidi, Jan 03 '21 at 22:32
