The number of your name

The number of your name is 807. The Torah word תאות — “utmost bound of” — has the same.

Your word in the Torah

The word תאות — “utmost bound of” — has the same number as your name. Here is the verse where it first appears:

ברכת אביך גברו על ברכת הורי עד תאות גבעת עולם תהיין לראש יוסף ולקדקד נזיר אחיו

Genesis 49:26

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.

הלא הוא אמר לי אחתי הוא והיא גם הוא אמרה אחי הוא בתם לבבי ובנקין כפי עשיתי זאת

Genesis 20:5

The verse is chosen by the custom: it begins with the first letter of your name, ה, 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 הרברת add up to 807. Plain addition — you can check it yourself.

Meaning. There is a Torah word with the same number — תאות (“utmost bound of”). 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.

הרברת

In short

Your name in Hebrew letters is הרברת. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 807 — the same as the Torah word תאות, “utmost bound of”. That number points to Torah page 99 of 354 — in the portion Shemot. What that portion is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 20:5. 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 הרברת gives 807.

807

The number 807 is the Torah word תאות — «utmost bound of» (Genesis 49:26).

✓ Verify

No other name in the index gives this number: it is one of 2,980.

The number 807, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 99 in the book of Shmot (Exodus).

The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 5:16:

תֶּבֶן אֵין נִתָּן לַעֲבָדֶיךָ וּלְבֵנִים אֹמְרִים לָנוּ עֲשׂוּ וְהִנֵּה עֲבָדֶיךָ מֻכִּים וְחָטָאת עַמֶּךָ

There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us: Make brick; and, behold, thy servants are beaten, but the fault is in thine own people.'

This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.

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) — 807. A Torah word with the same number is תאות — “utmost bound of” (Genesis 49:26).

Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow” (Exodus 3:8).

Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 69. A Torah word with the same number is אביון — “poor, needy” (Exodus 23:6).

Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 3103.

Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 240029.

Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1631.

The letters that come out are צגשגא — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 397. A Torah word with the same number is יהושוע — “Joshua, son of Nun” (Exodus 17:9).

Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1844.

The number 807 appears in the classical books 2 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is מועד לכל חי (~1861).

The name הרברת 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 הרברת these are ה and ת. The Pentateuch has 4 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 20:5:

הלא הוא אמר לי אחתי הוא והיא גם הוא אמרה אחי הוא בתם לבבי ובנקין כפי עשיתי זאת

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.

A verse whose whole sum equals your name

ראובן שמעון לוי ויהודה

Exodus 1:2 · 19 letters in the verse

All the letters of this verse add up to 807 — 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 הרברת has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 807 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.
