A gematria calculator is a tool used to calculate the numerical value of Hebrew and English words or phrases. A good gematria calculator will provide you with the numerical value of any given word or phrase in both languages, making it easy to compare two things. For example, if you wanted to compare the phrase “love is greater than hate,” you could use a gematria calculator to determine that the total numerical value for “love” is thirty-five and for “hate” is twenty-one. This means that love has an overall larger numerical value than hate, indicating its greater importance in spirituality. This 1 – 900 series, plus the subdivision of the 27-letter series into three enneads of nine sequential letters, is the same as the Greek alphabet. If you have any sort of inquiries regarding where and how you can make use of web site, you could call us at the web-site. Even the position of a Hebrew letter in the alphabet can be significant. The gematric nomination for 18 is chet plus yud, which spells chai, or ‘life’. Going one step further, some kabbalists find meaning in the name of the letters themselves. It echoes the similar word, tzadik, righteous person; and the name of the tzadik Isaac appears 104 times in the Tanach. Along with the absolute value of the letters, the order of the letter in the progressive unfolding of the twenty-two letters also has great significance in Kabbalah. This is termed the ordinal value system where each letter is assigned a number from one to twenty-two (and in some cases to twenty-seven, when the final letters are considered on their own). Many of the Psalms, Shabbat songs and liturgical poetry used throughout the year are based on the progressive and orderly unfolding of the Hebrew alphabet. If you speak to someone who studies numerology they will tell you that there is an uncanny relationship between numbers and words. They’ll tell you that letters and words all have a numerical value and weight that is implicit of deeper meaning, connecting other words of similar weight.
