created brief article--have been promising myself to do this one some day
'''Gematria''', singular ''gematriot'', is calculating the numeric equivalent or value of words or phrases by adding the numbers associated with each letter of a particular [[alphabet]], primarily the [[Hebrew alphabet]] associated especially with the ''[[Torah]]''. In Greek and Hebrew each letter of the alphabet doubles as a number. Hebrew letter calculation is ''gematria''. Greek letter calculation is also commonly called gematria, but is more properly called ''isopsephy''.
The most famous gematria calculation is the human [[number of the Beast]] in the [[Book of Revelation]] in the [[Bible|Holy Bible]]. <br>'''Revelation 13:18'''{{cquote|Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number ''is'' Six hundred threescore ''and'' six. (KJV)}}
See [[Numerology]].
