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 113. The Torah word חקה — “{an enactment” — has the same.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with פ and ends with ל. 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 113 appears in 9 of the 54 weekly portions. That is a rare number: most numbers appear more often.
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.

פאבל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פאבל. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 113 — the same as the Torah word חקה, “{an enactment”. That number points to Torah page 113 of 354 — in the portion Bo. What that portion is about: Locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn; the Passover lamb; the exodus from Egypt; the commandment of tefillin. 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 פאבל gives 113.
113
The number 113 is the Torah word חקה — «{an enactment» (Genesis 26:5).
The number 113, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 113 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
יהוה אל משה ואהרן זאת חקת הפסח כל …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 12:43:
וַיֹּאמֶר ה׳ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן זֹאת חֻקַּת הַפָּסַח כָּל־בֶּן־נֵכָר לֹא־יֹאכַל בּוֹ
And HaShem said unto Moses and Aaron: 'This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no alien eat thereof;
This is from the portion Bo. What it is about: Locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn; the Passover lamb; the exodus from Egypt; the commandment of tefillin.
The same number, 113, is given by these biblical names:
נחמיה · פלג · סבאים
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) — 113. A Torah word with the same number is חקה — “{an enactment” (Genesis 26:5).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “a hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 32. A Torah word with the same number is לב — “the heart” (Genesis 6:5).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 514. A Torah word with the same number is שריד — “a survivor” (Numbers 21:35).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 7305.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 357. A Torah word with the same number is אנוש — “Enosh, a son of Seth” (Genesis 4:26).
The word that comes out is ותשכ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 726. A Torah word with the same number is קדשברנע — “Kadesh-Barnea, a place in the Desert” (Numbers 32:8).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 678.
The number 113 appears in the classical books 2 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is שער הפסוקים (~1573).
The name פאבל 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 פ and ends with ל. 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.
