וְאַרְבָּעִים אַדְנֵי־כֶסֶף תַּעֲשֶׂה תַּחַת עֶשְׂרִים הַקָּרֶשׁ שְׁנֵי אֲדָנִים תַּחַת־הַקֶּרֶשׁ הָאֶחָד לִשְׁתֵּי יְדֹתָיו וּשְׁנֵי אֲדָנִים תַּחַת־הַקֶּרֶשׁ הָאֶחָד לִשְׁתֵּי יְדֹתָיו
«And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons;»
Shmot (Exodus) 26:19 · page 136 of 354
This is from the portion “Terumah” (Exodus 25–27). What it is about: The offering for the Sanctuary; the Ark, the table and the lampstand; the Tabernacle and its curtains; the altar.
Nobody picked it: the letters of today's date add up to 136, and that is page 136 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: ממון = עוני
In the database it appears 32 times across 15 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: Hezekiah. And your name?
Person of the day
Three names from three eras sharing one small number
The prophet of the First Temple's destruction. To the call he answered 'I cannot speak, for I am a child' — and then spoke for forty years knowing he would not be heeded.
Tradition places his death on Shavuot. The book of Psalms is ascribed to him — the same book divided across the thirty days of the month and read daily the world over.
Twenty-seven years in prison, then the first elected president of South Africa. Nobel Peace Prize, 1993.
What connects them
All three are known for starting something first — and it went on without them afterwards.
One is what does not divide. A day to start a single thing rather than nudge five along. Whatever is laid down first today sets the order for the rest.
What are you putting off starting because you are waiting for it to get clearer?
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
One is what does not divide. A day to start a single thing rather than nudge five along. Whatever is laid down first today sets the order for the rest.
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.
