Code of the day · 2027-07-19
Monday · 14 Tamuz 5787
וַיֹּאמֶר ה׳ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן זֹאת חֻקַּת הַפָּסַח כָּל־בֶּן־נֵכָר לֹא־יֹאכַל בּוֹ
«And HaShem said unto Moses and Aaron: 'This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no alien eat thereof;»
Shmot (Exodus) 12:43 · page 113 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 467, and that is page 113 of the 354 pages of the Torah — the first five books of the Bible.
The same number was already written down around 1780?: דמעה שהם ב = מזה אמרו זל: אמנם (with the ±1 correction)
In the database this is the only such record. 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
The only prophet who fled his commission — and was brought back. His book is read on Yom Kippur: the city repented and the verdict was undone.
Rabbi of Baghdad, whose weekly lessons joined law, parable and custom. Sephardi communities still live by his book.
At twenty-one he was given two years to live; he lived fifty-five more and explained that black holes radiate.
What connects them
Each of the three dealt with power or great force — their own or someone else's — and had to decide what to do with it.
Eight comes after seven — that is, after completeness. The number of what goes past the ordinary measure. A day to check whether the work has outgrown its frame.
Where do you have more influence today than you admit to yourself?
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.

A Torah word with this number
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.
A name from this week's portion
This figure acts in the portion read this week. Their number is shown alongside — with no claim that it matches anything.
Psalms of the day

Reading of the reduced number
Eight comes after seven — that is, after completeness. The number of what goes past the ordinary measure. A day to check whether the work has outgrown its frame.
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.
