The name Jalon in Hebrew letters is ילון. 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.
ילון
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ילון. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in 1 Chronicles 4:17; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “lodging”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 96 — the same as the Torah word מלאכה, “work”. That number points to Torah page 96 of 354 — in the portion Shemot. What that portion is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 1:3. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Jalon” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: ילון. 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.

96
The number 96 is the Torah word מלאכה — «work» (Genesis 2:2).
but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.'
This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.
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) — 746. A Torah word with the same number is שמות — “names” (Genesis 2:20).
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) — 42. A Torah word with the same number is חדל — “to cease” (Genesis 11:8).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 376. A Torah word with the same number is עשו — “Esau, son of Isaac” (Genesis 25:25).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3536.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 192. A Torah word with the same number is קבץ — “to gather” (Genesis 41:35).
The letters that come out are מכפט — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 149. A Torah word with the same number is קדמה — “east of” (Genesis 2:14).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 212. A Torah word with the same number is ריב — “quarrel, dispute” (Genesis 26:20).
The number 96 appears in the classical books 34 times across 18 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

The name ילון 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 ילון these are י and נ. The Pentateuch has 4 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 1:3:
יששכר זבולן ובנימן
This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.
«but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.'»
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.
