The name Tomer in Hebrew letters is תומר. 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.
תומר
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is תומר. From the word תמר, “date palm”: “seventy palm trees” at Elim (Exodus 15:27). The form תומר is modern Hebrew. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 646 — the same as the Torah word דברתם, “you have spoken”. That number points to Torah page 292 of 354 — in the portion Devarim. What that portion is about: Moses begins his address in the plains of Moab: judges, spies, forty years of wandering, the victories over Sihon and Og. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 5:9. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Tomer” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: תומר. 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 תומר gives 646.
646
The number 646 is the Torah word דברתם — «you have spoken» (Exodus 12:32).
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
This is from the portion Devarim. What it is about: Moses begins his address in the plains of Moab: judges, spies, forty years of wandering, the victories over Sihon and Og.
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) — 646. A Torah word with the same number is דברתם — “you have spoken” (Exodus 12:32).
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) — 61. A Torah word with the same number is אני — “I” (Genesis 6:17).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 2456.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 201636.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1898.
The letters that come out are אפיג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 94. A Torah word with the same number is צד — “side” (Genesis 6:16).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1008. A Torah word with the same number is תרבות — “brood, offspring” (Numbers 32:14).
The number 646 appears in the classical books 2 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is עשרה מאמרות (~1597).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 646. 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. תומר has 4 letters: ת Tav, ו Vav, מ Mem, ר Resh. The first letter is Tav, the last is Resh.
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 תומר 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 תומר these are ת and ר. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Exodus 5:9:
תכבד העבדה על האנשים ויעשו בה ואל ישעו בדברי שקר
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.
The name תומר has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 646 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
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.
