The value of each letter in a Hebrew word or phrase is then added together to get the value of the word or phrase. If words or phrases score the same number then it is said that there is a connection between them. English Gematria uses a similar system and gives each letter of the English alphabet a numerical value. Jewish gematria or Hebrew gematria is the practice of assigning numerical values to letters (in English or any other language) in the hebrew system. This allows for words and phrases to be expressed as numbers, which can then be used for mathematical or mystical purposes. The most common way to assign numerical values to Hebrew letters is by using the assigned number of each letter in the alphabet in a kind of incremental way. The first 9 letters are valued from 1 to 9, the next 9 letters from 10 to 90, and the last four letters from 100 to 400. CharacterCalculator.com has a free online gematria calculator tool.
