וְאַתָּה הַפְקֵד אֶת־הַלְוִיִּם עַל־מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדֻת וְעַל כָּל־כֵּלָיו וְעַל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ הֵמָּה יִשְׂאוּ אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְאֶת־כָּל־כֵּלָיו וְהֵם יְשָׁרְתֻהוּ וְסָבִיב לַמִּשְׁכָּן יַחֲנוּ
«but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over all that belongeth to it; they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.»
Bamidbar (Numbers) 1:50 · page 220 of 354
This is from the portion “Bamidbar” (Numbers 1–4). What it is about: The census in the desert: 603,550 men; the order of the camps around the Tabernacle; the Levites and their service.
Nobody picked it: the letters of today's date add up to 220, and that is page 220 of the 354 pages of the Torah — the first five books of the Bible.
The word with this number is read this very week — and it is rare in the whole Torah.
The same number was already written down around 1300: ורוח = רוחו
In the database it appears 5 times across 5 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: Igor. And your name?
Person of the day
Three names from three eras sharing one small number
One of those who joined Korah. To Moses' summons he answered briefly: 'we will not come up'.
One of the chief sages of the Mishnah, who kept learning from a teacher everyone else had turned away from.
A lawyer who chose non-violence as a political method and walked three hundred and ninety kilometres to the sea for salt.
What connects them
All three built slowly and without guarantees: their work rests on patience, not on a flash.
Four sides, four walls. A day for sorting rather than designing: lay it out, finish it, make it firm. The foundation matters more than the facade today.
What in your life needs not a decision but simply one more day of work?
How the small number works: the digits are added until one remains. 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 claim about fate. It is interesting exactly insofar as you can see how it was counted.

Reading of the reduced number
Four sides, four walls. A day for sorting rather than designing: lay it out, finish it, make it firm. The foundation matters more than the facade today.
What follows is an interpretation, not a calculation. The reduced number comes from adding the digits; everything else on this page can be checked, and this cannot.
