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

עלז'בטה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is עלז'בטה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 123. That number points to Torah page 123 of 354 — in the portion Yitro. What that portion is about: Jethro's counsel on judges; standing at Sinai; the Ten Utterances; “you shall not make yourself an idol”. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 31:52. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

123

✓ Verify

This number is shared with 7 other name(s) out of the 2,980 in the index.

The number 123, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 123 in the book of Shmot (Exodus).
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 18:18:
נָבֹל תִּבֹּל גַּם־אַתָּה גַּם־הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר עִמָּךְ כִּי־כָבֵד מִמְּךָ הַדָּבָר לֹא־תוּכַל עֲשֹׂהוּ לְבַדֶּךָ
Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee; for the thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
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) — 123.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 51. A Torah word with the same number is אכל — “to eat” (Genesis 2:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 521. A Torah word with the same number is שדיאור — “Shedeur, father of Elizur” (Numbers 1:5).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 5959.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 627. A Torah word with the same number is תזכר — “that is born male” (Exodus 34:19).
The letters that come out are זכעשנצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 537. A Torah word with the same number is מטבעתיו — “by its rings” (Exodus 28:28).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1108.
The number 123 appears in the classical books 6 times across 6 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).
The name עלז'בטה 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 עלז'בטה these are ע and ה. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 31:52:
עד הגל הזה ועדה המצבה אם אני לא אעבר אליך את הגל הזה ואם אתה לא תעבר אלי את הגל הזה ואת המצבה הזאת לרעה
This is from the portion Vayetzei. What it is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return.
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 — 123. 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: עלז'בטה = 123. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.

2026-11-177 Kislev 5787in 24 days
The verse of that day

נָבֹל תִּבֹּל גַּם־אַתָּה גַּם־הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר עִמָּךְ כִּי־כָבֵד מִמְּךָ הַדָּבָר לֹא־תוּכַל עֲשֹׂהוּ לְבַדֶּךָ

«Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee; for the thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.»

Shmot (Exodus) 18:18 · 123 / 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.
