8 GEMATRIA

The ḥet equals 8, the samakh equals 60, and the dalet equals 4. The numbers of the sum of 72 are then added together (7 plus 2) to equal 9. It should be pointed out that the integral reduced value of the ordinal value and the reduced value of ḥesed also add up to 9. Many people use Gematria to interpret and uncover hidden meanings in the bible. A Gematria decoder, such as the online calculator above, works out the value of any letter, word, or phrase for you and saves you the trouble of calculating each letter. However, if you prefer to do the calculation yourself then see the Gematria chart below. A third type of gematria is known as 'Ordinal' gematria; this assigns a numerical value to each letter according to its place in the alphabet rather than its individual value. For example, 'A' would be equal to 1, 'B' would be equal to 2 and so on. This system can be applied just like Hebrew or Greek gematria but produces different results due to its unique numbering system. Gematria has been used by many religious and mystical traditions over the centuries, including kabbalists, astrologers, magicians, and alchemists. Its use was particularly important in Jewish mysticism where it was believed that certain words possess special power when they are composed with specific gematria numbers. Words with powerful gematria values were thought to have magical properties that could bring about specific results or provide protection against evil forces.
