gematria is a system of biblical numerical interpretation that assigns numerical value to words and phrases. It is used to calculate the numerical value of Hebrew terms and names, and to interpret them in the context of Judaism and Christianity. A Gematria Calculator is a tool used to aid in gematria calculations. It can be used to quickly generate answers to questions about the numerical values associated with various biblical words.
To use a Gematria Calculator, users must first select a translation or specific text from which they wish to calculate the numerical values of words or phrases. Different systems may use different texts; for example, some use Talmudic or Rabbinical texts, while others draw from other ancient religious sources. Once a source is selected, users can enter their desired phrase into the calculator using either phonetic or transliterated spelling. The calculator then assigns numerical values to each letter in the phrase and sums them up for a total result.
Gematria calculators offer additional features that make them more useful than simply adding up numbers on one's own. For instance, they can automatically translate Latin-based scripts into appropriate Hebrew numerals, as well as assign meanings based on assigned numerical sequences. For example, when gematria numbers are reversed (left-to-right), they form whole new meanings that are often interpreted differently than the original text's corresponding word or phrase. Other calculators may also highlight certain numbers within a sequence that have special spiritual significance within Judaism and Christianity; such numbers include "666" (mark of the Beast) and "42" (God's name).
