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.
Guy (גיא) — “Valley.” A word from the Torah: “the valley opposite Beth-peor” (Deuteronomy 34:6).
And the same number belongs to the Torah word יד — “a hand”.
14 and 14.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ג and ends with א. 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 14 appears in 53 of the 54 weekly portions. That is a common number — it is in most 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.
Below — how this was counted, letter by letter.
Guy — A name of biblical origin — its biblical spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
גיא
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is גיא. “Valley.” A word from the Torah: “the valley opposite Beth-peor” (Deuteronomy 34:6). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 14 — the same as the Torah word יד, “a hand”. That number points to Torah page 14 of 354 — in the portion Noach. What that portion is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham. 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 גיא gives 14.
14
The number 14 is the Torah word יד — «a hand» (Genesis 3:22).
The number 14, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 14 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
ויטע כרם וישת מן היין וישכר ויתגל בתוך …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 9:20:
וַיָּחֶל נֹחַ אִישׁ הָאֲדָמָה וַיִּטַּע כָּרֶם
And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard.
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
The same number, 14, is given by these biblical names:
דוד · גיא · בבי · דואג
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) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “a hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 5. A Torah word with the same number is אד — “a fog” (Genesis 2:6).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “a hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 62. A Torah word with the same number is בין — “between” (Genesis 1:4).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 110. A Torah word with the same number is עם — “a people” (Genesis 11:6).
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 30. A Torah word with the same number is כי — “very widely used as a relative conjunction or…” (Genesis 1:4).
The word that comes out is רמת. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 640. A Torah word with the same number is שמש — “the sun” (Genesis 15:12).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 214. A Torah word with the same number is ירד — “to descend” (Genesis 11:5).
The number 14 appears in the classical books 31 times across 16 works. The earliest mention is פירוש קדמון על ספר חסידים (~1200).
The name גיא does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 3 times with prefixes — first in Numbers 21:20.
The verse of your name
There is no verse in the Pentateuch that begins with ג and ends with א. 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.
