The verse in the Chumash with the lowest gematria is Bamidbar 21:8: וּבְנֵי פַלּוּא אֱלִיאָב. - And the children of Pallu: Eli'av. The gematria of this verse is 229.
The Ramban's famous Disputation at Barcelona (against an apostate Jew and a supporting cast of Christian priests) took place in the summer of 1263. This was 229 years before the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492.
