You can also perform a search of the Torah to find words and pesukim that match a gematria. Also, you have a comparing system that lets you compare your input to common inputs from our database or to the Bible. These gematriot are based on the first of four methods of calculating the numeral value of the letters of the Hebrew alpha. Known as Mispar Hekhreḥi, absolute or normative value, each letter is given a specific numerical equivalent. Alef equals 1, bet equals 2, gimmel equals 3, and so on until yod, the tenth letter, which equals 10. The next letter, kaf, equals 20, then lamed, which equals 30, and so on until kuf, which equals 100. The last three letters, resh, shin, taf, equal 200, 300, and 400, respectively. The final forms of the letters, kaf, mem, nun, pei, and ẓadi, used when these letters appear at the very end of a word, are often given the same numerical equivalent as the standard form of the letter. Sometimes, they are given the values 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900, respectively. When you loved this information and you would like to receive much more information relating to web page i implore you to visit our own web site. This brings the numerical equivalencies of the Hebrew alphabet to 1,000, for the alef, the first letter can also symbolize 1,000. The most well-known type of gematria is the Hebrew gematria, which assigns numerical values to Hebrew letters. Each letter is assigned a numerical value from 1-400, with the letter aleph being equal to 1. There are various ways to calculate the value of words or phrases, but all involve totaling the numerical values of all letters in the word or phrase. Once the total has been determined, it can be used to uncover various meanings from the text.
