About
In Jewish mysticism, words that have the same numerical value are believed to bear an underlying relationship that links them together. This practice is called Gematria.
The Gematria dictionary enables one to view all the Strong Hebrew references that have the same numerical value as a given Strong Hebrew reference

The Gematria Dictionary is a reference resource that provides the meanings, correspondences, and numerical values associated with words and phrases in the system of gematria. Gematria is a traditional Jewish numerological method that assigns numerical values to letters of the Hebrew alphabet, allowing scholars and mystics to interpret hidden meanings, spiritual insights, and connections between words based on their numerical totals.

Key features of a Gematria Dictionary include:

• Letter-to-Number Assignments: It details how each Hebrew letter corresponds to a specific numerical value, often following standard systems like the Mispar Hechrechi or Mispar Gadol.
• Word and Phrase Calculations: It offers the numerical totals for Hebrew words and phrases, enabling users to explore their symbolic or mystical significance.
• Interpretative Entries: Many dictionaries include explanations or traditional interpretations linked to particular values or combinations.
• Cross-References: Connections between different words sharing the same numerical value, highlighting thematic or spiritual links.

Uses of a Gematria Dictionary:

• Mystical and Kabbalistic Studies: To uncover hidden meanings in sacred texts.
• Symbolic Analysis: To explore the spiritual significance of words and names.
• Numerological Research: For those interested in numerology's role within Jewish mysticism.

Availability:
Gematria dictionaries can be found in printed form, online databases, or digital apps. They serve as valuable tools for students, scholars, and enthusiasts delving into Jewish mysticism, biblical exegesis, or esoteric studies.
