Gematria is a type of numerical system used to interpret words and phrases into numerical value. The use of gematria to interpret Biblical texts and analyze the symbolism behind written texts has been around for centuries. More recently, gematria calculators have been developed to make it easier for anyone to interpret their own words and phrases using this ancient system.
A gematria calculator is a computer program that takes a given word or phrase as input and calculates its gematria value using a specific coding system. Usually, these calculators will assign numbers from one to nine corresponding to each letter of the alphabet, according to the Hebrew alphabet for religious texts or other languages for esoteric texts. Using this numerical equivalence, the calculator can assign a single number or group of numbers which represent the total numeric value of your given word or phrase.
For example, if you put "life" into a gematria calculator, the Hebrew alphabet assigns each letter with a letter number: L = 30; I = 10; F = 80; E = 5. Therefore, "life" has an assigned gematria of 125 (30+10+80+5). With this information in hand, many use gematria values as an additional key towards unlocking deeper meanings in sacred texts or analyzing their own words and intentions.
You may also come across various charts which list different placements for letters in different languages or numerological systems all assigning various numerical values for letters, allowing you further options in interpretation and understanding new perspectives from your given inputs.
