גד
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is גד. “Fortune, troop” (Genesis 30:11). Jacob’s seventh son; his tribe settled east of the Jordan. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 7 — the same as the Torah word או, “desire”. That number points to Torah page 7 of 354 — in the portion Bereshit. What that portion is about: Creation in six days and the Sabbath; Adam and Eve in the garden; Cain and Abel; ten generations to Noah. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name גד gives 7.
7
The number 7 is the Torah word או — «desire» (Genèse 24:49).
The Sabbath is the seventh day; seven weeks to Shavuot; seven years to the sabbatical; seven days of a festival.
The number 7, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 7 in the book of Bereshit (Genèse). These are its opening words:
קין לטש כל חרש נחשת וברזל ואחות תובל …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genèse) 4:22:
וְצִלָּה גַם־הִוא יָלְדָה אֶת־תּוּבַל קַיִן לֹטֵשׁ כָּל־חֹרֵשׁ נְחֹשֶׁת וּבַרְזֶל וַאֲחוֹת תּוּבַל־קַיִן נַעֲמָה
This is from the portion Bereshit. What it is about: Creation in six days and the Sabbath; Adam and Eve in the garden; Cain and Abel; ten generations to Noah.
The same number, 7, is given by these biblical names:
גד · אגג · בה
Nine ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 7. A Torah word with the same number is או — “desire” (Genèse 24:49).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 7. A Torah word with the same number is או — “desire” (Genèse 24:49).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 7. A Torah word with the same number is או — “desire” (Genèse 24:49).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 16. A Torah word with the same number is אחז — “to seize” (Genèse 22:13).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 25. A Torah word with the same number is כה — “like this, i.e. by implication” (Genèse 15:5).
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 10. A Torah word with the same number is בדד — “separate” (Nombres 23:9).
The word that comes out is רק. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 300. A Torah word with the same number is כפר — “to cover” (Genèse 6:14).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 517. A Torah word with the same number is אשורי — “an Ashurite” (Genèse 25:3).
The number 7 appears in the classical books 7 times across 6 works. The earliest mention is שער מאמרי רשב"י (~1573).
The name גד appears in the Torah as a word 29 times. The first time is Genèse 30:11. Another 3 times it stands with prefixes — “and”, “in”, “the”.
The verse of your name
There is no verse in the Pentateuch that begins with ג and ends with ד. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
