How Hebrew and Greek gematria work
Neither Hebrew nor Greek historically had separate number symbols the way Arabic numerals do today — instead, each letter of the alphabet also stood for a number, in order (Aleph=1, Bet=2 ... Yod=10, then by tens Kaf=20 ... Qof=100, then by hundreds Resh=200 ... Tav=400 for Hebrew; Greek follows the same alpha=1 through omega=800 pattern, skipping two archaic letters — digamma and qoppa — not typically typed today). A word's gematria value is simply the sum of its letters' numeric values.
This calculator only recognizes standard Hebrew and Greek Unicode letters — final-form Hebrew letters (ך ם ן ף ץ) use the same value as their regular form, and Greek final sigma (ς) is treated the same as regular sigma (σ). English letters have no traditional gematria value, since the practice is specific to the Hebrew and Greek alphabets used in the biblical languages.
Frequently asked questions
Is gematria used to interpret the Bible?
Some rabbinic and early Jewish/Christian interpreters used shared gematria totals as a memory aid or a way to connect ideas (Revelation 13:18 is the clearest biblical example, naming "666" as "the number of a man"). Most conservative and mainstream Christian scholarship today treats gematria as a curiosity or literary device rather than a reliable method for deriving doctrine — this tool is offered in that spirit.
Why doesn't my English word show a value?
Traditional gematria only applies to the Hebrew and Greek alphabets, where letters doubled as numerals. English letters were never assigned numeric values in this system, so an English word won't total anything meaningful here.
What's the difference between Hebrew gematria and Greek isopsephy?
They're the same basic idea (letters = numbers, sum the word) applied to two different alphabets. "Gematria" is the traditional Hebrew/Jewish term; "isopsephy" is the Greek equivalent, used for New Testament-era Greek texts.
