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.

In any letters — Latin, Cyrillic or Hebrew

Adds the verse of meeting from the portion of your birth week

עיזרייל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is עיזרייל. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 337. That number points to Torah page 337 of 354 — in the portion Ki Tavo. What that portion is about: “When you enter”: the first fruits and the declaration; the stones on Mount Ebal; blessings and admonitions. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 21:24. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

✓ Verify

This number is shared with 4 other name(s) out of the 2,980 in the index.

The number 337, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 337 in the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy).
The verse this place falls on is Devarim (Deuteronomy) 26:5:
וְעָנִיתָ וְאָמַרְתָּ לִפְנֵי ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲרַמִּי אֹבֵד אָבִי וַיֵּרֶד מִצְרַיְמָה וַיָּגָר שָׁם בִּמְתֵי מְעָט וַיְהִי־שָׁם לְגוֹי גָּדוֹל עָצוּם וָרָב
And thou shalt speak and say before HaShem thy G-d: 'A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
This is from the portion Ki Tavo. What it is about: “When you enter”: the first fruits and the declaration; the stones on Mount Ebal; blessings and admonitions.
The same number, 337, is given by these Tanakh names:
Saul שאול
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) — 337.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 22. A Torah word with the same number is יחד — “together” (Genesis 13:6).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 85. A Torah word with the same number is פה — “mouth” (Genesis 4:11).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1418.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 46149.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1465.
The letters that come out are זמעגממכ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. 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, clean” (Genesis 7:2).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 841. A Torah word with the same number is הנפשות — “the persons” (Leviticus 18:29).
The number 337 appears in the classical books 3 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is פרי עץ חיים (~1573).
The name עיזרייל 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 עיזרייל these are ע and ל. The Pentateuch has 4 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 21:24:
עין תחת עין שן תחת שן יד תחת יד רגל תחת רגל
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”.
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 — 337. 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: עיזרייל = 337. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.

2027-02-0326 Shvat 5787in 101 days
The verse of that day

וְעָנִיתָ וְאָמַרְתָּ לִפְנֵי ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲרַמִּי אֹבֵד אָבִי וַיֵּרֶד מִצְרַיְמָה וַיָּגָר שָׁם בִּמְתֵי מְעָט וַיְהִי־שָׁם לְגוֹי גָּדוֹל עָצוּם וָרָב

«And thou shalt speak and say before HaShem thy G-d: 'A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.»

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 26:5 · 337 / 354

Half of all names have such a day.

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.
