The Big Beth ב and the small Heh ה

This short video discusses the basic principles of Gematria demonstrating the four levels of being in: the physical world, the world of consciousness, the spiritual world, and the supra-spiritual world

The third Law of Thermodynamics states that when a force operates in a certain direction, there is an equal and opposite force in an opposite direction. If we apply this theory to gematria, we find instances where words of equal gematrical value often have the opposite meaning. Likewise, words comprising the same letters arranged in […]

Each Hebrew letter is associated with a symbol or image: aleph א is the head of a bull, beth ב is a house, gimmel ג is a camel, daled ד is a door, etc. These symbols were the pictographic forms that are similar to the ancient Phoenician alphabet. In gematrical interpretation, there is a direct relationship between the […]

The gematrical pattern of words is often an indicator of the meaning of the word itself. An example can be seen in the word cherub, Cherubs are understood to be  angel like creatures and are first mentioned in Gen. 3:24 in the story of the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve are evicted from […]

The importance of ratios or other mathematical functions is indicated in Table 1 in which letters in the three levels of: units, decanes and centanes, are related. So for example: 1 is related to 10, 100 and 1000; 4 is related to 40 and 400; 5 is related to 50 and 500 etc. Similarly, ratios between words and phrases can be […]

Another approach to applying gematria is called milui, meaning ‘filling’, where the gematria of the full spelling of each letter is calculated. Take for example the milui gematria for the name of God, Elohim in Hebrew אלהים , spelled aleph-lamed-heh-yod-mem. The milui values for this word: aleph א spelled: aleph-lamed-peh = 1+30+80=111; lamed ל spelled: lamed-mem-daled = 30+40+4=74; […]

The summation of values of words and phrases gives us insight into the actual meaning of the word/phrase and possible links to other words or phrases which have similar values. For example, the word ‘ladder’, sulam סולםin Hebrew, which appears in the story of Jacob’s ladder, has a gematrical value of 130. It was the […]

Gematria is the analysis of Hebrew biblical texts through assigning the numerical values of Hebrew letters to words and phrases in order to obtain a deeper understanding of the texts. Numbers are immutable and therefore are not subject to interpretation by individuals or to personal bias. The earliest reference to the use of Gematria for […]

The foundations of Modern Hebrew can be found in a proto-Canaanite script which was a pictographic script, developed approximately 18th century BCE. Sometime in the 13th century BCE the proto-Canaanite script evolved into the Canaanite script, considered the father of Paleo Hebrew, Aramaic, Phoenician and Archaic Greek. Around 1100 BCE the early Greek alphabet diverged from […]
