Beeri

Tap the letters of your name and add up its number yourself

The number of your name

Beeri (בארי) stands in the Torah as a word of its own — 1 time. First in Genesis 26:34.

The verse of your name

There is a sentence with which, by custom, a person answers when asked who they are.

Yours is this one.

בחדש השלישי לצאת בני ישראל מארץ מצרים ביום הזה באו מדבר סיני

Exodus 19:1

The verse is chosen by the custom: it begins with the first letter of your name, ב, and ends with the last, י.

The custom is written down in the Kitzur Shelah and in Sefer Ben Zion: “say it regularly and never forget it as long as you live.” The Rokeach gives the reason in Chochmat ha-Nefesh: a person is asked their name, and whoever does not remember cannot answer. The verse holds the name for them. Siddur ha-Rashban puts it more plainly: children were made to learn their verse by heart — so that if they were taken and forgot everything else, they would still know who they were.

How to read your number

Fact. The letters of the name בארי add up to 213. Plain addition — you can check it yourself.

Meaning. A number decides nothing for a person. It is a search key: it finds words, verses and people with the same sum.

A question for yourself. What in this do you recognise in yourself — and what would you like to strengthen?

Practice. This week: open the verse of your name, read it slowly three times and write down one thought that stays with you.

בארי

Spelling attested: this is how the name is recorded in the open Wikidata name base.

In short

Your name in Hebrew letters is בארי. A Tanakh name: a Hittite and an Israelite (first in Genesis 26:34; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “fountained”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 213. That number points to Torah page 213 of 354 — in the portion Bechukotai. What that portion is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 19:1. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

You wrote “Beeri” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: בארי. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.

Adding up the letters of the name בארי gives 213.

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

The number 213, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 213 in the book of Vayikra (Leviticus).

The verse this place falls on is Vayikra (Leviticus) 26:6:

וְנָתַתִּי שָׁלוֹם בָּאָרֶץ וּשְׁכַבְתֶּם וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי חַיָּה רָעָה מִן־הָאָרֶץ וְחֶרֶב לֹא־תַעֲבֹר בְּאַרְצְכֶם

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

This is from the portion Bechukotai. What it is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe.

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) — 213.

Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 6. A Torah word with the same number is בד — “alone, apart” (Genesis 2:18).

Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).

Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 854. A Torah word with the same number is מחתתו — “his fire pan” (Leviticus 10:1).

Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40105.

Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 421. A Torah word with the same number is אתך — “with you” (Genesis 6:18).

The letters that come out are שתגמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 743. A Torah word with the same number is משגת — “can afford” (Leviticus 14:21).

Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1053.

The number 213 appears in the classical books 14 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).

The name בארי appears in the Torah as a word 1 time. The first time is Genesis 26:34.

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 בארי these are ב and י. The Pentateuch has 16 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 19:1:

בחדש השלישי לצאת בני ישראל מארץ מצרים ביום הזה באו מדבר סיני

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”.

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.
