Gematria

Hi visionary.
Are you familiar with this site?

מחשבון גימטריה - Hebrew Gematria Calculator

And, I can't find it there, but is the Gematria of President Trump's name ("Donald Trump") 424 or 425?

Been discussed before, but it is still a part of the Jewish faith, to believe that the very letters of the Hebrew language have more meaning. Every letter in Hebrew has a numerical value. I ran across an article that gives an example of how this can give us connections that we might not otherwise make.

Let’s take the Jacob’s dream story, for example. The ladder with ascending and descending angels is pronounced in Hebrew as sulam (סֻלָּם) and is better translated as a ramp. It has a numerical value of 130 : ס(samekh)=60, ל(lamed)=30, מ(mem)=40. The Hebrew word for Mt. Sinai (סיני), has the same numerical value, although it is made up of different letters all together. Hence, one interpretation of Jacob's ladder could be that it is related to the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.
The Code is in the Hebrew Letters

Here we have two examples of connection with God that has similar numerical value. How many other examples of this are there?

michal the first wife of david is an excellent daughter of the kingdom far as I can see.
The gematria of her name is 100 next to and multiplying her husband's 10.

A blessing of silver light before and after a dowry gift.
A beautiful mother to the daughters of courage.

Blessings Always

I'm curiously wondering if anyone reading here can give the gematria/numerical value of the above hebrew letters.
Especially the third letter from right to left.

The Vav is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

I asked about the 3rd letters' numerical value.
Are you concluding that it is a vav?

The vav sometimes serves as a vowel of witness without number.

So the hebrew gematria would be 7

Threes and fours are the way of the king

Again an example of discretion needed to glean fruits. Noble thoughts are very important when studying.

The Story of King David in the Bible

I understand the Gematria of G-d's (most holy) name is 26. And that there's also a Hebrew word meaning to lie (or deceive) with the numerical value of 26. Is that true, and why would that be? Surely nothing could be further removed from G-d than lies and deception, so why would a corespondance like this exist (if the very letters of the Hebrew language are inspired, and gematria is meant to be a useful tool on deciphering messages from G-d)???

I believe the word for lie (deceive, or fail) is כָּזַב, and it's numerical value is 26, and I don't understand why this word would have the same numerical value as the Tetragrammaton (G-d's most Holy Name.) Can anyone help me?

Why should that be surprising? There is always a fine line between the truth and a lie. Also, just because gematria is mathematical, that doesn't mean anything toward the truth or untruth of the interpretations people place upon the numbers.

PS: (Edit), for example we find in Exodus 19:4 that the Most High likens himself to a great eagle. We see this symbolism again in Revelation 12:14 where the woman is given two wings of a great eagle to escape into the wilderness from the dragon or serpent. However we find also a parable in Ezekiel 17 that speaks of two great eagles: one of them apparently the king of Babylon, the other apparently the king of Egypt, Pharaoh. Thus the eagle or nesher is not just used for the Most High but also of mighty rulers and kings. So the symbolism is more general in that the eagle is used for both good things and evil things and simply represents a mighty ruler or king. The lion is after the same manner, as the king of the land animals or king of the jungle, (as also in the African deserts and wilderness), and the lion is likewise used for both good attributes and evil attributes. Both Yhudah and Dan are likened to lions but Dan is also called a serpent by the way. The eagle is the king of the fowls while the lion is the king of the land animals. Neither animal is to be eaten: for we are not to consume or partake of their nature, for both are rapacious predators which either swoop down from the sky, (eagles), or sneak up, (lions on the prowl), to steal away with and devour the young, weak, defenseless, or wounded.

Nesher (eagle) symbolism: a king or mighty ruler
Nesher - נשר = Gematria 550
haNesher - הנשר = Gematria 555

Wow, look at all those fives.... uh, but so what?

"Public Hermit" was correct. (From right to left) the third letter is the waw or vav.

And its gematria value is certainly six, not seven.
