פינחס
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פינחס. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 208 — the same as the Torah word יצחק, “Jitschak”. That number points to Torah page 208 of 354 — in the portion Emor. What that portion is about: Laws of the priests; animals without blemish; the calendar of festivals — from the Sabbath to Sukkot; the lamp and the showbread. 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 פינחס gives 208.
208
The number 208 is the Torah word יצחק — «Jitschak» (Genesis 17:19).
The number 208, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 208 in the book of Vayikra (Leviticus). These are its opening words:
הראשון שבתון וביום השמיני שבתון ולקחתם לכם ביום …
The verse this place falls on is Vayikra (Leviticus) 23:39:
אַךְ בַּחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי בְּאָסְפְּכֶם אֶת־תְּבוּאַת הָאָרֶץ תָּחֹגּוּ אֶת־חַג־ה׳ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן שַׁבָּתוֹן וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי שַׁבָּתוֹן
Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of HaShem seven days; on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.
This is from the portion Emor. What it is about: Laws of the priests; animals without blemish; the calendar of festivals — from the Sabbath to Sukkot; the lamp and the showbread.
The same number, 208, is given by these biblical names:
יצחק · פינחס · הגר · בור
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) — 208. A Torah word with the same number is יצחק — “Jitschak” (Genesis 17:19).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 28. A Torah word with the same number is כח — “vigor, literally” (Genesis 4:12).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 64. A Torah word with the same number is נטה — “to stretch or spread out” (Genesis 12:8).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 946.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 12664.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 666. A Torah word with the same number is סתור — “Sethur, an Israelite” (Numbers 13:13).
The word that comes out is ומטסח. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 123.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 745. A Torah word with the same number is משתה — “drink, by implication, drinking” (Genesis 19:3).
The number 208 appears in the classical books 49 times across 20 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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.
