‎English Gematria Calculator on the App Store

[ruthieterrell]

Gematria is an alphanumeric code where letters and words in the Hebrew alphabet are assigned numbers, values, or calculations. In the event you loved this article and you would love to receive more details concerning web site generously visit our own web page. It is commonly used in Jewish culture to understand text, particularly within the Torah, on a deeper and more spiritual level. The first numerical cipher that is known to be assigned to the English Alphabet was by Cornelius Agrippa in 1533, in his work De Occulta Philosopha. This cipher is sometimes erroneously labelled as “Jewish” or “Hebrew” by popular numerology calculators, such as Gematrix. Although a type of gematria system (‘Aru’) was employed by the ancient Babylonian culture, their writing script was logographic, and the numerical assignments they made were to whole words. The value of these words were assigned in an entirely arbitrary manner and correspondences were made through tables,[2] and so cannot be considered a true form of gematria. Aru was very different from the gematria systems used by Hebrew and Greek cultures, which used alphabetic writing scripts. Similar systems have been used in other languages and cultures derived from or inspired by Hebrew gematria; Arabic abjad numerals, and English gematria. There is currently no academic consensus over whether Hebrew gematria or Greek isopsephy was used first. The app offers show/hide options for numerology values, letter values, and cipher charts to streamline the interface.
