Bereshit (Genesis) 18:5 · page 25 of 354
This is from the portion “Vayera” (Genesis 18–22). What it is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah.

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.
