Nathanael — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Nathanael in Hebrew letters is נתנאל. 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.
נתנאל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is נתנאל. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 531 — the same as the Torah word נתנאל, “Nethanel, the name of ten Israelites”. That number points to Torah page 177 of 354 — in the portion Tzav. What that portion is about: The fire on the altar is never to go out; the priests' portion; the seven days of consecration of Aaron and his sons. 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 נתנאל gives 531.
531
The number 531 is the Torah word נתנאל — «Nethanel, the name of ten Israelites» (Numbers 1:8).
The number 531, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 177 in the book of Vayikra (Leviticus). These are its opening words:
ויחטא את המזבח ואת הדם יצק אל יסוד …
The verse this place falls on is Vayikra (Leviticus) 8:15:
וַיִּשְׁחָט וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הַדָּם וַיִּתֵּן עַל־קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ סָבִיב בְּאֶצְבָּעוֹ וַיְחַטֵּא אֶת־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְאֶת־הַדָּם יָצַק אֶל־יְסוֹד הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וַיְקַדְּשֵׁהוּ לְכַפֵּר עָלָיו
And when it was slain, Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the remaining blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.
This is from the portion Tzav. What it is about: The fire on the altar is never to go out; the priests' portion; the seven days of consecration of Aaron and his sons.
The same number, 531, is given by these biblical names:
נתנאל · אלנתן
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) — 531. A Torah word with the same number is נתנאל — “Nethanel, the name of ten Israelites” (Numbers 1:8).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “alive” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 63. A Torah word with the same number is חנה — “to incline” (Genesis 26:17).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1991.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 165901.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2032.
The word that comes out is טאטתכ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 439. A Torah word with the same number is בתואל — “Bethuel, the name of a nephew of Abraham, and…” (Genesis 22:22).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 803.
The number 531 appears in the classical books 4 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is שיטה מקובצת על הש"ס (~1550).

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.
