How your name is written in the letters of the Torah
Your name in the Torah: in Hebrew letters, as a number, with the verse it lands on and the sources. Computed, not divined. Free.
יוז'
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is יוז'. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 23. That number points to Torah page 23 of 354 — in the portion Lech Lecha. What that portion is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

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.
with finals and ordinal — 23.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 104. A Torah word with the same number is חוץ — “outside” (Genesis 6:14).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 185. A Torah word with the same number is פנימה — “inside, inward” (Leviticus 10:18).
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 49. A Torah word with the same number is מואב — “Moab, son of Lot” (Genesis 19:37).
The letters that come out are מפע — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 190. A Torah word with the same number is כנען — “Canaan, son of Ham” (Genesis 9:18).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 99. A Torah word with the same number is טמן — “to hide” (Genesis 35:4).
The number 23 appears in the classical books 5 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).
The name יוז' 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
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with י and ends with ז. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
The full message
Every letter of the name explained, the words and namesakes with references, the Hebrew date, the letter and tribe of the month, day 861 of your life (±1), the psalm by age, the attestations from the classical books — a PDF sent to your email.
The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 23. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Your name's day
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: יוז' = 23. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.

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.
