The name Zebah in Hebrew letters is זבח. 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.
זבח
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is זבח. A Tanakh name: a Midianite prince (first in Judges 8:5; 12 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “sacrifice”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 17 — the same as the Torah word טוב, “good”. That number points to Torah page 17 of 354 — in the portion Noach. What that portion is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Psalms 143:5. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Zebah” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: זבח. 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 זבח gives 17.

And Nahor lived after he begot Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
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.
with finals, reduced and ordinal — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 67. A Torah word with the same number is אבידן — “Abidan, chief of Benjamin” (Numbers 1:11).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 117. A Torah word with the same number is אלוף — “chief” (Genesis 36:15).
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).
The letters that come out are עשס — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 430. A Torah word with the same number is נפש — “soul, living being” (Genesis 1:20).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 897.
The number 17 appears in the classical books 52 times across 29 works. The earliest mention is ילקוט שמעוני (~1260).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 17. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
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.
