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 102. The Torah word בעל — “a master” — has the same.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with צ 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 102 appears in 32 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.
Tzvi — 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.
צבי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is צבי. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 102 — the same as the Torah word בעל, “a master”. That number points to Torah page 102 of 354 — in the portion Vaera. What that portion is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail. 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 צבי gives 102.
102
The number 102 is the Torah word בעל — «a master» (Genesis 14:13).
The number 102, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 102 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
ולא שמע אלהם כאשר דבר יהוה ויאמר יהוה …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 7:13:
וַיֶּחֱזַק לֵב פַּרְעֹה וְלֹא שָׁמַע אֲלֵהֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר ה׳ פ
And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as HaShem had spoken.
This is from the portion Vaera. What it is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail.
The same number, 102, is given by these biblical names:
בעל · בלע · בצי · זיפה
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) — 102. A Torah word with the same number is בעל — “a master” (Genesis 14:13).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 12. A Torah word with the same number is הוא — “she or it)” (Genesis 2:11).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 30. A Torah word with the same number is כי — “very widely used as a relative conjunction or…” (Genesis 1:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 553.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 8204.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 284. A Torah word with the same number is רדף — “to run after” (Genesis 14:14).
The word that comes out is השמ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 345. A Torah word with the same number is משה — “Mosheh, the Israelite lawgiver” (Exodus 2:10).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 536.
The number 102 appears in the classical books 49 times across 27 works. The earliest mention is ספר חסידים (~1200).
The name צבי does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 4 times with prefixes — first in Deuteronomy 12:15.
The verse of your name
There is no verse in the Pentateuch that begins with צ 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.
