וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה בִּנְעָרֵינוּ וּבִזְקֵנֵינוּ נֵלֵךְ בְּבָנֵינוּ וּבִבְנוֹתֵנוּ בְּצֹאנֵנוּ וּבִבְקָרֵנוּ נֵלֵךְ כִּי חַג־ה׳ לָנוּ
«And Moses said: 'We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds we will go; for we must hold a feast unto HaShem.'»
Shmot (Exodus) 10:9 · page 108 of 354
This is from the portion “Bo” (Exodus 10–13). What it is about: Locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn; the Passover lamb; the exodus from Egypt; the commandment of tefillin.
Nobody picked it: the letters of today's date add up to 462, and that is page 108 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 1740: תסב = יעקב רחל ולאה
In the database it appears 2 times across 2 books. We do not claim this proves anything: we show who wrote it and when, and we recounted it ourselves.
Person of the day
Three names from three eras sharing one small number
A Moabite who told her mother-in-law 'where you go, I will go'. From her came the royal line of David.
The Arizal's principal student. Everything known of his teacher's doctrine is known because Vital wrote it down.
He sailed on a whaler and wrote Moby-Dick, which failed in his lifetime. He died a customs officer.
What connects them
All three are remembered for words: spoken, written or performed — and the words outlived them.
Three points define a plane: a structure that no longer wobbles. A day to fix what has been reached rather than look for a fourth support.
What is the thing you have long thought but never once said out loud?
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
Three points define a plane: a structure that no longer wobbles. A day to fix what has been reached rather than look for a fourth support.
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.
