gematria is an ancient Hebrew practice of assigning numerical values to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This system was used in Jewish mysticism and is still used among some religious Jews today to interpret and understand the deeper meanings of different passages in the Torah, Talmud, and other sacred texts. A gematria calculator is a tool that helps aid this process by automatically converting words into numerical form, allowing a person to easily determine the gematria of a particular word or phrase.
In gematria, each letter in the Hebrew alphabet corresponds to a number beginning with aleph (1) and ending with tav (400). Numbers that add up to multiples of 7 are considered highly meaningful words or concepts. A gematria calculator simplifies this process of calculating multiple letters and numbers in various combinations by automatically computing them for you.
Most online gematria calculators work by asking a user to enter either a single word or phrase in Hebrew characters (in vowelized form if desired), which then converts each letter to its corresponding numerical number according to the traditionalgematria system. Some calculators allow for users to enter their own numerical/letter correspondences for custom calculations. Once all letters have been converted into their corresponding numbers, the calculator then adds these together and displays the sum below (as well as any other results such as totals divisible by seven).
