וְאַתָּה וַעֲבָדֶיךָ יָדַעְתִּי כִּי טֶרֶם תִּירְאוּן מִפְּנֵי ה׳ אֱלֹהִים
«But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear HaShem G-d.'--»
Shmot (Exodus) 9:30 · page 107 of 354
This is from the portion “Vaera” (Exodus 6–9). What it is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail.
Nobody picked it: the letters of today's date add up to 461, and that is page 107 of the 354 pages of the Torah — the first five books of the Bible.
The same number was already written down around 1300: כמוך כפרעה = בך אתחל
In the database it appears 3 times across 3 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: Ethan. And your name?
Person of the day
Three names from three eras sharing one small number
Esau's eldest son. The Torah lists his descendants alongside Jacob's line — it records the rival's lineage too.
The Rebbe of Ger, whose weekly talks were written down by students and became a book still read along with the weekly portion.
She refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery in 1955. That refusal began the boycott that changed the country's laws.
What connects them
For all three the main thing happened not alone: there was always a second — an ally, a rival, or someone they answered for.
Two is always another person. A day for conversation, for agreement, for the other side. A decision made alone today will have to be revisited together.
Whom should you speak to directly today, instead of deciding for both of you?
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
Two is always another person. A day for conversation, for agreement, for the other side. A decision made alone today will have to be revisited together.
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.
