זבדי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is זבדי. A Tanakh name: the name of four Israelites (first in Joshua 7:1; 6 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “giving”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 23. That number points to Torah page 23 of 354 — in the portion Lech Lecha. What that portion is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 31:38. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Zabdi” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: זבדי. 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.

זה עשרים שנה אנכי עמך רחליך ועזיך לא שכלו ואילי צאנך לא אכלתי
