Your name in the Torah: in Hebrew letters, as a number, with the verse it lands on and the sources. Computed, not divined. Free.
Your name
You did not choose your name. It was given — almost always after someone who came before you.
The number of your name is 124. The Torah word עדן — “Eden, the region of Adam's home” — has the same.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ד and ends with ס. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — we count only the Torah so far.
The week you were born
Add your date of birth and we will show which portion the world was reading the week you appeared, and whether it holds a word of your number.
How rare this number is
A word with the number 124 appears in 35 of the 54 weekly portions.
You are not alone in this number
The same number belongs to these names:
What is left
We counted your name in one system. There are nine, and they give nine different numbers. When several systems lead to the same portion, the tradition reads that theme as strong. So far you have one.

דניס
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is דניס. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 124 — the same as the Torah word עדן, “Eden, the region of Adam's home”. That number points to Torah page 124 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”. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name דניס gives 124.
124
The number 124 is the Torah word עדן — «Eden, the region of Adam's home» (Genesis 2:8).
The number 124, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 124 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
אלה הדברים אשר תדבר אל בני ישראל ויבא …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 19:6:
וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ־לִי מַמְלֶכֶת כֹּהֲנִים וְגוֹי קָדוֹשׁ אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר תְּדַבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.'
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”.
The same number, 124, is given by these biblical names:
יוחנן · עדן · אלעוזי · ידלף
Nine 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) — 124. A Torah word with the same number is עדן — “Eden, the region of Adam's home” (Genesis 2:8).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 16. A Torah word with the same number is אחז — “to seize” (Genesis 22:13).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 43. A Torah word with the same number is גם — “assemblage” (Genesis 3:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 515. A Torah word with the same number is ירשה — “something occupied” (Deuteronomy 2:5).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 6216.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 246. A Torah word with the same number is מדבר — “a pasture” (Genesis 14:6).
The word that comes out is קטמח. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 157. A Torah word with the same number is זקן — “old” (Genesis 18:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 680. A Torah word with the same number is פתר — “to open up, i.e.” (Genesis 40:8).
The number 124 appears in the classical books 6 times across 6 works. The earliest mention is כל בו (~1300).
The name דניס 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 no verse in the Pentateuch that begins with ד and ends with ס. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
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.
