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.
מתרדת
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מתרדת. A Tanakh name: the name of two Persians (first in Ezra 1:8; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 1044. That number points to Torah page 336 of 354 — in the portion Ki Teitzei. What that portion is about: “When you go out”: seventy-four commandments — the bird's nest, honest weights, divorce, remembering Amalek. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 6:20. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Mithredath” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: מתרדת. 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 מתרדת gives 1044.
1044
The number 1044, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 336 in the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy).
The verse this place falls on is Devarim (Deuteronomy) 25:9:
וְנִגְּשָׁה יְבִמְתּוֹ אֵלָיו לְעֵינֵי הַזְּקֵנִים וְחָלְצָה נַעֲלוֹ מֵעַל רַגְלוֹ וְיָרְקָה בְּפָנָיו וְעָנְתָה וְאָמְרָה כָּכָה יֵעָשֶׂה לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִבְנֶה אֶת־בֵּית אָחִיו
then shall his brother's wife draw nigh unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say: 'So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother's house.'
This is from the portion Ki Teitzei. What it is about: “When you go out”: seventy-four commandments — the bird's nest, honest weights, divorce, remembering Amalek.
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) — 1044.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “living” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 81. A Torah word with the same number is אנכי — “I” (Genesis 3:10).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 3940.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 361616.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2808.
The letters that come out are יאגקא — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 115. A Torah word with the same number is חזק — “to be strong, seize” (Genesis 19:16).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1836.
The number 1044 appears in the classical books 1 time across 1 work. The earliest mention is ספר תולדות אדם.
The name מתרדת 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 מתרדת these are מ and ת. The Pentateuch has 6 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 6:20:
מהעוף למינהו ומן הבהמה למינה מכל רמש האדמה למינהו שנים מכל יבאו אליך להחיות
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 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 — 1044. 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 מתרדת has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 1044 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.
