The name Ants in Hebrew letters is אנץ. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
אנץ
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אנץ. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 141 — the same as the Torah word צאן, “flock, sheep”. That number points to Torah page 141 of 354 — in the portion Tetzaveh. What that portion is about: “Command”: oil for the lamp; the priestly garments — the ephod, the breastplate with twelve stones; the consecration of the priests. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 9:13. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Ants” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אנץ. 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 אנץ gives 141.
141
The number 141 is the Torah word צאן — «flock, sheep» (Genesis 4:2).
And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die; it shall be a statute for ever unto him and unto his seed after him.
This is from the portion Tetzaveh. What it is about: “Command”: oil for the lamp; the priestly garments — the ephod, the breastplate with twelve stones; the consecration of the priests.
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) — 951. A Torah word with the same number is ישראלית — “Israelite woman” (Leviticus 24:10).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow” (Exodus 3:8).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 691. A Torah word with the same number is הפרות — “the cows” (Genesis 41:3).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 10601.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 193. A Torah word with the same number is וצמאון — “and thirsty ground” (Deuteronomy 8:15).
The letters that come out are תטה — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 414. A Torah word with the same number is תבואה — “produce, yield” (Genesis 47:24).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 321. A Torah word with the same number is אשך — “testicle” (Leviticus 21:20).
The number 141 appears in the classical books 9 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 141. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. אנץ has 3 letters: א Alef, נ Nun, ץ final Tsadi. The first letter is Alef, the last is final Tsadi.
For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name אנץ 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 אנץ these are א and צ. The Pentateuch has 4 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 9:13:
את קשתי נתתי בענן והיתה לאות ברית ביני ובין הארץ
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.
«And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die; it shall be a statute for ever unto him and unto his seed after him.»
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.
