Each letter of the alphabet is assigned a value, and the value of a word or phrase is found by adding up the values of its constituent letters. Gematria is an ancient numerical system used to assign numerical values to words and phrases. It originated in the Jewish tradition and has been used in various forms throughout the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa. Gematria is based on the idea that words have a hidden meaning which can be revealed through numerical values assigned to each letter of a word or phrase. Jewish Gematria or Hebrew Gematria (sometimes called “gimatria,”) is a method of giving numerical values to the Hebrew letters. The value of each letter in a Hebrew word or phrase is then added together to get the value of the word or phrase. If words or phrases score the same number then it is said that there is a connection between them. English Gematria uses a similar system and gives each letter of the English alphabet a numerical value. Whereas numerology is the study of numbers as they are to decipher their symbolic meaning. “Gematria is a method of assigning the numerical values to a term or a phrase”.
