וְכָל־הָעָם רֹאִים אֶת־הַקּוֹלֹת וְאֶת־הַלַּפִּידִם וְאֵת קוֹל הַשֹּׁפָר וְאֶת־הָהָר עָשֵׁן וַיַּרְא הָעָם וַיָּנֻעוּ וַיַּעַמְדוּ מֵרָחֹק
And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.
This is from the portion Yitro. What it is about: Jethro's counsel on judges; standing at Sinai; the Ten Utterances; “you shall not make yourself an idol”.
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) — 126.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “living” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 54. A Torah word with the same number is מטה — “staff, tribe” (Genesis 38:18).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 473. A Torah word with the same number is אבתיכם — “your fathers” (Genesis 48:21).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 4420.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 504. A Torah word with the same number is דרש — “to seek, require” (Genesis 9:5).
The letters that come out are כמטקכש — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 489. A Torah word with the same number is תפדה — “you shall redeem” (Exodus 13:13).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1120.
The number 126 appears in the classical books 14 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).
The name לינדלב 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 לינדלב these are ל and ב. The Pentateuch has 6 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 27:9:
לך נא אל הצאן וקח לי משם שני גדיי עזים טבים ואעשה אתם מטעמים לאביך כאשר אהב
This is from the portion Toldot. What it is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing.

Half of all names have such a day.
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.
