Sapir — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Sapir in Hebrew letters is ספיר. 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.
ספיר
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ספיר. “Sapphire.” The stone of the throne in Ezekiel’s vision (1:26) and of the “likeness” beneath the feet at Sinai (Exodus 24:10). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 350 — the same as the Torah word עפר, “dust”. That number points to Torah page 350 of 354 — in the portion Haazinu. What that portion is about: “Give ear”: the song of Haazinu — heaven and earth as witnesses; Moses ascends Mount Nebo. 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 ספיר gives 350.
350
The number 350 is the Torah word עפר — «dust» (Genesis 2:7).
The number 350, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 350 in the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy). These are its opening words:
ותשמע הארץ אמרי פי יערף כמטר לקחי תזל …
The verse this place falls on is Devarim (Deuteronomy) 32:1:
הַאֲזִינוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וַאֲדַבֵּרָה וְתִשְׁמַע הָאָרֶץ אִמְרֵי־פִי
Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
This is from the portion Haazinu. What it is about: “Give ear”: the song of Haazinu — heaven and earth as witnesses; Moses ascends Mount Nebo.
The same number, 350, is given by these biblical names:
עמרם · רצין · שמי · עפר
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) — 350. A Torah word with the same number is עפר — “dust” (Genesis 2:7).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 62. A Torah word with the same number is בין — “between” (Genesis 1:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1510.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 50100.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 700. A Torah word with the same number is כפרת — “a lid” (Exodus 25:17).
The word that comes out is חומג. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 57. A Torah word with the same number is מזבח — “an altar” (Genesis 8:20).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 731.
The number 350 appears in the classical books 18 times across 11 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.
