איזבל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is איזבל. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 50 — the same as the Torah word כל, “the whole”. That number points to Torah page 50 of 354 — in the portion Vayetzei. What that portion is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 10:32. 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 איזבל gives 50.
50
The number 50 is the Torah word כל — «the whole» (Genesis 1:21).
The jubilee is the fiftieth year (Leviticus 25:10); Shavuot is the fiftieth day; nun is 50.
The number 50, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 50 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
בדודאי בני וישכב עמה בלילה הוא וישמע אלהים …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 30:16:
וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה בָּעֶרֶב וַתֵּצֵא לֵאָה לִקְרָאתוֹ וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלַי תָּבוֹא כִּי שָׂכֹר שְׂכַרְתִּיךָ בְּדוּדָאֵי בְּנִי וַיִּשְׁכַּב עִמָּהּ בַּלַּיְלָה הוּא
And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said: 'Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son's mandrakes.' And he lay with her that night.
This is from the portion Vayetzei. What it is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return.
The same number, 50, is given by these biblical names:
איזבל · אדמה · מי · גזם
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) — 50. A Torah word with the same number is כל — “the whole” (Genesis 1:21).
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) — 192. A Torah word with the same number is קבץ — “to grasp, i.e. collect” (Genesis 41:35).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 1054.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 100. A Torah word with the same number is על — “above, over, upon, or against” (Genesis 1:2).
The word that comes out is תמעשכ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 830. A Torah word with the same number is יששכר — “Jissaskar, a son of Jacob” (Genesis 30:18).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 684.
The number 50 appears in the classical books 70 times across 40 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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 איזבל these are א and ל. The Pentateuch has 11 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 10:32:
אלה משפחת בני נח לתולדתם בגויהם ומאלה נפרדו הגוים בארץ אחר המבול
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.

How it is counted
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.
