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.
תריניתת
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is תריניתת. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 1470. That number points to Torah page 54 of 354 — in the portion Vayetzei. What that portion is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 15:16. 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 תריניתת gives 1470.
1470
The number 1470, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 54 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis).
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 31:40:
הָיִיתִי בַיּוֹם אֲכָלַנִי חֹרֶב וְקֶרַח בַּלָּיְלָה וַתִּדַּד שְׁנָתִי מֵעֵינָי
Thus I was: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
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.
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) — 1470.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 21. A Torah word with the same number is אך — “only, surely” (Genesis 7:23).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 120. A Torah word with the same number is מועד — “appointed time, festival” (Genesis 1:14).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 5585.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 522700.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 5480.
The letters that come out are אגמטמאא — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 95. A Torah word with the same number is יפה — “beautiful” (Genesis 12:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1874.
The name תריניתת 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 תריניתת these are ת and ת. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Exodus 15:16:
תפל עליהם אימתה ופחד בגדל זרועך ידמו כאבן עד יעבר עמך ה׳ עד יעבר עם זו קנית
This is from the portion Beshalach. What it is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek.
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 — 1470. 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
The name תריניתת has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 1470 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.
