Gal — A name of biblical origin — its biblical spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
גל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is גל. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 33 — the same as the Torah word גל, “something rolled, i.e. a heap of stone or dung”. That number points to Torah page 33 of 354 — in the portion Vayera. What that portion is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah. 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 גל gives 33.
33
The number 33 is the Torah word גל — «something rolled, i.e. a heap of stone or dung» (Genèse 31:46).
The number 33, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 33 in the book of Bereshit (Genèse). These are its opening words:
ממעל לעצים וישלח אברהם את ידו ויקח את …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genèse) 22:9:
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר־לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים וַיִּבֶן שָׁם אַבְרָהָם אֶת־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וַיַּעֲרֹךְ אֶת־הָעֵצִים וַיַּעֲקֹד אֶת־יִצְחָק בְּנוֹ וַיָּשֶׂם אֹתוֹ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ מִמַּעַל לָעֵצִים
This is from the portion Vayera. 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.
The same number, 33, is given by these biblical names:
אבל · לבא · ידידה · יחיה
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) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “something rolled, i.e. a heap of stone or dung” (Genèse 31:46).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 6. A Torah word with the same number is בד — “separation” (Genèse 2:18).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow freely” (Exode 3:8).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 111. A Torah word with the same number is אלף — “hence” (Genèse 20:16).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 909.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 36. A Torah word with the same number is אלה — “these or those” (Genèse 2:4).
The word that comes out is רכ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 220. A Torah word with the same number is טהור — “pure” (Genèse 7:2).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 157. A Torah word with the same number is זקן — “old” (Genèse 18:11).
The number 33 appears in the classical books 7 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is שיטה מקובצת על הש"ס (~1550).
The name גל appears in the Torah as a word 1 time. The first time is Genèse 31:46. Another 6 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 ל. 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.
