The name Chelubai in Hebrew letters is כלובי. 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.
כלובי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is כלובי. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in 1 Chronicles 2:9; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 68 — the same as the Torah word חלל, “to begin”. That number points to Torah page 68 of 354 — in the portion Vayeshev. What that portion is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 27:34. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Chelubai” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: כלובי. 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 כלובי gives 68.
68
The number 68 is the Torah word חלל — «to begin» (Genesis 4:26).
And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
This is from the portion Vayeshev. What it is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker.
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) — 68. A Torah word with the same number is חלל — “to begin” (Genesis 4:26).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 41. A Torah word with the same number is אם — “if” (Genesis 4:7).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 259. A Torah word with the same number is ראובן — “Reuben, son of Jacob” (Genesis 29:32).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 1440.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 252. A Torah word with the same number is זמרה — “choice produce, song” (Genesis 43:11).
The letters that come out are לכפשמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 470. A Torah word with the same number is עת — “time” (Genesis 8:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 618. A Torah word with the same number is בריתו — “his covenant” (Exodus 2:24).
The number 68 appears in the classical books 55 times across 26 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name כלובי 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 כלובי these are כ and י. The Pentateuch has 14 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 27:34:
כשמע עשו את דברי אביו ויצעק צעקה גדלה ומרה עד מאד ויאמר לאביו ברכני גם אני אבי
This is from the portion Toldot. What it is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing.
«And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.»
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.
