The name Morag in Hebrew letters is מוראג. 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.
מוראג
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מוראג. The name Morag comes from Scottish Gaelic: its root, the word mór, means “great”. It is a girl's name that is found mostly in Scotland. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 250. That number points to Torah page 250 of 354 — in the portion Shlach. What that portion is about: The twelve spies; forty years for forty days; challah and tzitzit. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Morag” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: מוראג. 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 מוראג gives 250.
And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire unto HaShem, and their sin-offering before HaShem, for their error.
This is from the portion Shlach. What it is about: The twelve spies; forty years for forty days; challah and tzitzit.
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) — 250.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 16. A Torah word with the same number is אחז — “to seize” (Genesis 22:13).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 43. A Torah word with the same number is גם — “also” (Genesis 3:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 968.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 41646.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 829. A Torah word with the same number is תבואתך — “your produce” (Deuteronomy 14:28).
The letters that come out are יפגתר — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 693. A Torah word with the same number is גפרית — “brimstone, sulfur” (Genesis 19:24).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 796. A Torah word with the same number is בחצצרות — “with trumpets” (Numbers 10:8).
The number 250 appears in the classical books 14 times across 12 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 250. 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. מוראג has 5 letters: מ Mem, ו Vav, ר Resh, א Alef, ג Gimel. The first letter is Mem, the last is Gimel.
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 מוראג 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
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with מ and ends with ג. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
«And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire unto HaShem, and their sin-offering before HaShem, for their error.»
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.
