The number of your name

The number of your name is 667. The Torah word ביתהרן — “Beth-haran, town in Gad” — has the same.

The verse of your name

There is a sentence with which, by custom, a person answers when asked who they are.

Yours is this one.

אם מאן ימאן אביה לתתה לו כסף ישקל כמהר הבתולת

Exodus 22:16

The verse is chosen by the custom: it begins with the first letter of your name, א, and ends with the last, ת.

The custom is written down in the Kitzur Shelah and in Sefer Ben Zion: “say it regularly and never forget it as long as you live.” The Rokeach gives the reason in Chochmat ha-Nefesh: a person is asked their name, and whoever does not remember cannot answer. The verse holds the name for them. Siddur ha-Rashban puts it more plainly: children were made to learn their verse by heart — so that if they were taken and forgot everything else, they would still know who they were.

How to read your number

Fact. The letters of the name אורסת add up to 667. Plain addition — you can check it yourself.

Meaning. There is a Torah word with the same number — ביתהרן (“Beth-haran, town in Gad”). A matching sum does not mean the word is 'about you'; it is a reason to look at what in it matters to you.

A question for yourself. What in this do you recognise in yourself — and what would you like to strengthen?

Practice. This week: open the verse of your name, read it slowly three times and write down one thought that stays with you.

אורסת

In short

Your name in Hebrew letters is אורסת. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 667 — the same as the Torah word ביתהרן, “Beth-haran, town in Gad”. That number points to Torah page 313 of 354 — in the portion Eikev. What that portion is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 22:16. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

Adding up the letters of the name אורסת gives 667.

667

The number 667 is the Torah word ביתהרן — «Beth-haran, town in Gad» (Numbers 32:36).

✓ Verify

The number 667, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 313 in the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy).

The verse this place falls on is Devarim (Deuteronomy) 11:2:

וִידַעְתֶּם הַיּוֹם כִּי לֹא אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדְעוּ וַאֲשֶׁר לֹא־רָאוּ אֶת־מוּסַר ה׳ אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֶת־גָּדְלוֹ אֶת־יָדוֹ הַחֲזָקָה וּזְרֹעוֹ הַנְּטוּיָה

And know ye this day; for I speak not with your children that have not known, and that have not seen the chastisement of HaShem your G-d, His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm,

This is from the portion Eikev. What it is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema.

Other 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) — 667. A Torah word with the same number is ביתהרן — “Beth-haran, town in Gad” (Numbers 32:36).

Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “nation” (Genesis 10:5).

Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 64. A Torah word with the same number is נטה — “to stretch out, pitch” (Genesis 12:8).

Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 2567.

Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 203637.

Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1149.

The letters that come out are תפגחא — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 492. A Torah word with the same number is סבלת — “burdens” (Exodus 6:6).

Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1159.

The number 667 appears in the classical books 2 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is שער הכוונות (~1573).

The name אורסת does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.

The verse of your name

There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For אורסת these are א and ת. The Pentateuch has 22 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 22:16:

אם מאן ימאן אביה לתתה לו כסף ישקל כמהר הבתולת

This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.

A verse whose whole sum equals your name

ובדבר הזה אינכם מאמינם בה׳ אלהיכם

Deuteronomy 1:32 · 30 letters in the verse

All the letters of this verse add up to 667 — exactly your name's number. The Pentateuch has 5,853 verses, and only 200 of them fall below 1000. Of the 2,980 names in our index, 80 match this way — about one name in thirty-seven.

Your name's day

The name אורסת has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 667 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.

How it is counted

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.
