Here are four note sequences actually used in the scriptures to return to the tonic. Note, when the last two notes are B e, these only occur in the Psalms, with the exception of 4 verses in the Decalogue, Exodus 20:4, 10, Deuteronomy 5:8, 12.

I imagine Haïk-Vantoura experimented and chose sequences of reciting notes that made musical sense.
- The tonic (e) for the sense of home,
- the subdominant (A) for the sense of rest,
- the supertonic (f) for a briefer rest, (in the 3 books only) and always prior to the subdominant if both are in the verse,
- the dominant (B) for proclamation,
- the submediant (C) for emotional appeal.
- It is rare to have much recitation below the tonic (low c, 21 books only, or d, all books).
- Recitation above the submediant is non-existent.
Next: Verses without a rest on the subdominant
