Name-Value

Name-Value (Number of the Letter’s Name)

Definition (8th-grade level):

This meaning comes from adding up the numbers of the letters that spell the name of a letter. For example, the name of the letter ג (Gimel) is spelled גמל, and each of those letters has a number. When you add them together, you get a new number.

You include this for research, especially because Revelation talks about the number of a name (like 666). But it’s hard to use reliably because:

• There are different ways to spell the names of letters
• The meanings don’t always connect clearly

Still, it’s worth watching for patterns or confirmations.
