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.
Naomi (נעמי) — “My pleasantness.” Ruth’s mother-in-law; after losing husband and sons she returned from Moab to Bethlehem (Ruth).
And the same number belongs to the Torah word ענן — “a cloud”.
170 and 170.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with נ and ends with י. 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 170 appears in 38 of the 54 weekly portions.
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.
Naomi — 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.
נעמי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is נעמי. “My pleasantness.” Ruth’s mother-in-law; after losing husband and sons she returned from Moab to Bethlehem (Ruth). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 170 — the same as the Torah word ענן, “a cloud”. That number points to Torah page 170 of 354 — in the portion Vayikra. What that portion is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices. 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 נעמי gives 170.
170
The number 170 is the Torah word ענן — «a cloud» (Genesis 9:13).
The number 170, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 170 in the book of Vayikra (Leviticus). These are its opening words:
שעיר עזים זכר תמים וסמך ידו על ראש …
The verse this place falls on is Vayikra (Leviticus) 4:23:
אוֹ־הוֹדַע אֵלָיו חַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר חָטָא בָּהּ וְהֵבִיא אֶת־קָרְבָּנוֹ שְׂעִיר עִזִּים זָכָר תָּמִים
if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without blemish.
This is from the portion Vayikra. What it is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices.
The same number, 170, is given by these biblical names:
נעמי · יפיע · ניסן · ססמי
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) — 170. A Torah word with the same number is ענן — “a cloud” (Genesis 9:13).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 53. A Torah word with the same number is אבן — “a stone” (Genesis 2:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 720.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 9100.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 500. A Torah word with the same number is נתן — “to give, used with greatest latitude of…” (Genesis 1:17).
The word that comes out is טזימ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 66. A Torah word with the same number is כמו — “a form of the prefix 'k-', but used separately…” (Genesis 19:15).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 336. A Torah word with the same number is שול — “a skirt” (Exodus 28:33).
The number 170 appears in the classical books 14 times across 9 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).
The name נעמי does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 1 time with prefixes — first in Numbers 26:40.
The verse of your name
There is no verse in the Pentateuch that begins with נ and ends with י. 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.
