Code of the day · 2026-10-24
Saturday · 13 Cheshvan 5787
Every day of the Hebrew calendar has a number: the letters of the date add up. Today it is 377. Below: where it comes from, which Torah verse it opens, and what it has to do with your name.
Where this number comes from
Today is 13 Cheshvan 5787. In Hebrew the date is written in letters: י״ג חשון. Every Hebrew letter has a value: א = 1, ב = 2 … י = 10, כ = 20 … ק = 100 … ת = 400. Add up the letters of the date:
13 + 364 = 377
The year is left out, so this same day gives the same number every year, like a birthday.
- Number of the day377
- Page of the Chumash23 / 354
- Verse of the dayBereshit (Genesis) 16:13
In the 861 layout the Chumash has 354 pages, the number of days in a lunar year. If the number is above 354, subtract 354: 377 − 354 = 23.
One number for everyone: on the site, in the bot and on the image. It is a calendar, not a forecast and not a description of anyone. Your own number comes from your name, below.
וַתִּקְרָא שֵׁם־ה׳ הַדֹּבֵר אֵלֶיהָ אַתָּה אֵל רֳאִי כִּי אָמְרָה הֲגַם הֲלֹם רָאִיתִי אַחֲרֵי רֹאִי
«And she called the name of HaShem that spoke unto her, Thou art a G-d of seeing; for she said: 'Have I even here seen Him that seeth Me?'»
Bereshit (Genesis) 16:13 · page 23 of 354
This is from the portion “Lech Lecha” (Genesis 12–17). What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.
Nobody picked it: the letters of today's date add up to 377, and that is page 23 of the 354 pages of the Torah — the Five Books of Moses.
The same number was already written down around 1300: עד בקר = הוא השני (with the ±1 correction)
In the database it appears 9 times across 7 books. We do not claim this proves anything: we show who wrote it and when, and we recounted it ourselves.
Today is the name's day of: Florian, Froilan, Оскари, Ростислав, Samuel, Veronica. And your name?
The image is built on the server: date, number, verse and page are the same as on this page.
More about today
Person of the day: three names with one small number
Person of the day
Three names from three eras sharing one small number
Father of Dathan and Abiram. The Torah names him only to show which household the revolt came from.
Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook, 1865–1935, first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of the Land of Israel. He wrote about the secular pioneers of his day with a warmth almost nobody in his own camp shared.
He led Britain through the hardest year of the war. His Nobel Prize was not in politics but in literature.
Why they are side by side
Only the number puts them side by side. That is arithmetic, not an explanation: we checked — equal sums do not imply a shared meaning.
How the small number is obtained: the digits are added until one remains. This is mispar katan, one of the nine classical counting methods; every number has one. Non-Hebrew names are written in Hebrew letters by ordinary transliteration; variants exist, and the number depends on the spelling. We show the letters so it can be checked. This is a coincidence of counting, not a statement about a person or about the day.

This happens more often than the meeting does: measured, the number of the week and the number of the date meet on roughly one day in three. Saying so plainly is the method.
