Gematria
Look up a word, phrase, or number and see where else it appears in My LORD’s Bible’s own scripture text — scoped only to this app’s corpus, never outside sources.
What is gematria?
Gematria assigns a number to each letter, then adds up a word’s (or a whole verse’s) letters to get a total. Scripture students have long used this to notice when two different words or phrases add up to the same number, treating that shared total as a possible sign of a hidden connection between them. This page runs that calculation only over My LORD’s Bible’s own text, so every match points to another word or verse actually in this app — never an outside numerology database. Searching a multi-word phrase also checks for other same-length phrases elsewhere in the corpus that add up to the same total — not just single matching words or whole verses whose full text happens to total the same.
Three schemes run on every search, applied to English letters:
- English Ordinal
- Each letter’s plain position in the alphabet: A=1, B=2, C=3 … Z=26.
- English Ordinal ×6
- The same alphabet position as above, with every value multiplied by six.
- English Standard
- A traditional cipher rather than simple counting — each letter has its own fixed value from a set table (e.g. J=600), not just its position in the alphabet.
Two more schemes use the real historical letter values of the actual scripture language, not an English cipher — these only appear when they apply: search a plain number to check it against both, or type or paste actual Hebrew or Greek text to compute its real value directly.
- Hebrew Gematria
- Standard Old Testament Hebrew letter values (Mispar Hechrachi), computed on the Hebrew text itself — e.g. יהוה (the divine name) = 26.
- Greek Isopsephy
- Standard New Testament Greek letter values, computed on the Greek text itself — e.g. Ιησους (“Jesus”) = 888.
