Number of Mentions of Moshe’s Name in the Torah

How many times is Moshe Rabeinu name mentioned in the Torah?

Answer:

Six Hundred and Twenty Eight (in the Torah (5 books) alone), including the word “le-Moshe.”

If we don’t count the word “le-Moshe”, there are six hundred and fifteen mentions of the name. There is one place where he is called Moshe Moshe. If we take away this instance, we reach six hundred and thirteen mentions(!).

  1. Can I be added to a daily message from your organization? I teach 13 year& old boys and a daily riddle would be a valuable and geshmaaker way to start each day.
    Thank you

    1. We don’t yet have such a service, but I’ll suggest it to the site manager.

    2. I counted all the mentions of Moshe in Chumash. It adds up to 586. If you take the name Moshe mentioned like le Moshe,it adds up to27
      586 plus27 is 613
