Hebrew Gematria Calculator

Hebrew gematria is the oldest and most authentic form of gematria, originating in ancient Israel and developing alongside Jewish mystical traditions over the past 2,500 years. The practice emerged from the fact that ancient Hebrew, like Greek, used letters as numerals before the adoption of Arabic numerals. This natural connection between letters and numbers formed the foundation of a rich interpretive tradition.

Unlike modern gematria adaptations, Hebrew gematria works directly with the sacred language of the Torah, the original biblical text. Jewish mystics and rabbis have used this system for millennia to uncover hidden meanings, divine messages, and spiritual connections within scripture. The Kabbalah, the mystical branch of Judaism, considers gematria one of the primary tools for understanding the deeper layers of Torah.

What sets Hebrew gematria apart from other systems is its direct connection to the original biblical language and its rich tradition of interpretation. When you calculate the gematria of a Hebrew word, you are engaging with the same practice that scholars and mystics have used for thousands of years. The 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph-Bet) each carry profound spiritual significance, with values ranging from 1 (Aleph, symbolizing the divine breath) to 400 (Tav, representing completion and truth).

This calculator is ideal for students of Kabbalah, Torah scholars, those interested in Jewish mysticism, or anyone exploring the numerical patterns in Hebrew sacred texts. For comparing Hebrew gematria results with other systems, try our gematria comparison tool.

The Hebrew gematria system assigns numerical values to each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet following a logical pattern. The first nine letters (Aleph through Tet) represent units 1-9. The next nine letters (Yod through Tsade) represent tens 10-90. The final four letters (Qof through Tav) represent hundreds 100-400.

To use this calculator, you can enter either Hebrew characters directly or English transliterations of Hebrew words. The calculator automatically maps common transliterations to their Hebrew letter equivalents. For a complete reference of letter values, see our gematria chart.

Some letters have final forms (sofit) that appear at the end of words. These are: Kaf Sofit, Mem Sofit, Nun Sofit, Pe Sofit, and Tsade Sofit. In standard Hebrew gematria, final forms typically retain the same value as their regular forms, though some traditions assign them higher values (500-900).
