What Is Gematria?
Gematria is traditionally a numerology system that assigns numerical values to letters, words, and passages in the Hebrew language. It's used in Jewish culture and Kabbalistic literature to analyze texts, especially the Torah, at a deeper level. Some people believe that gematria reveals spiritual knowledge and gives insight into current and past events.
More generally, gematria can describe any similar numerology system such as English-language numerology, isopsephy (for the Greek language) and abjad (for Arabic).
How Does the Gematria Calculator Work?
Our gematria calculator is an easy-to-use online tool that calculates the gematria value of a word or text. There are three translation systems:
- Transliterated Hebrew: Assigns a gematria value to each English letter by mapping it to a chosen Hebrew letter. Different calculators use different mappings, meaning that the gematria value of transliterated Hebrew can vary. In this calculator, C corresponds to Chet (ח, value 8) and X to Samech (ס, value 60). Unlike other online gematria calculators, it also accounts for digraphs like Ch, Sh, Th, and Ts.
- Standard Hebrew: Calculates classic Hebrew gematria (mispar hechrachi) where each Hebrew letter (22 letters) has a specific number value (Aleph (א) = 1, Bet (ב) = 2, etc). Final letters (ך, ם, ן, ף, ץ) retain the same values as their regular forms.
- ALW Cipher: Uses the New Aeon English Qabalah system of Hermetic Qabalah created by James Lees in 1976, which assigns values to English letters ( A=1, L=2, W=3, etc.).
Why You Should Use the Gematria Calculator
While Hebrew gematria isn't scientifically proven, it can be a powerful tool for analyzing Jewish books like the Sefer Yetzirah or other religious or mystical texts.
Gematria users examine the values of different words, phrases, or verses in these texts to explore spiritual meaning and possible hidden connections. For example, if two Hebrew words have the same gematria value, users may conclude that corresponding verses in the Bible are related.
