There was a comment in my feed which is now not visible for some reason. It concerned 'final letter forms': "In Hebrew if a letter like Mem is used at the end of a word like Adam (אדם) it has a final form ם which has a gematria of 600. Why in the case of Adam did you count using the value of 40 and not 600?" The answer is that the higher values for the five letters with final-place forms was a later innovation in Kabbalism and post-dates the composition and writing of the Torah. I believe it dates from the medieval period.
At 7:37, you talked about how long Adam and Enoch lived. I thought that those numbers represented the number of full moon so you would have to divide by 13 because there are 13 full moon in a year. So Adam would be 930/13 = 78 years and Enoch would be 365/13 = 28 years. What do you think?
It seems like a reasonable theory. But there are a few problems. If you are correct, it cannot have been applied consistently because Ishmael and Levi died at the age of 137 years (Genesis 25, 17 and Exodus 6, 16), which in moons would work out as 10.5 years old! There is also a lot of variation in quoted ages of patriarchs between different manuscript versions of the Pentateuch.
The etymology is disputed, although it is mostly accepted to be of Greek rather than Hebrew origin. Gamma-tria is one of the possibilities and it is perfectly valid to accept it.

I love this topic!! I’m really excited to hear what you are going to share with us , from all of your studies. Thank you kindly 😊 🙏
Great videos.
I’m pumped to watch your other videos afterwards!
There is one word to describe my reaction to this video; DELICIOUS!
Is this where Nostradamus got his predictions?

@@shake-scene Thank you for your reply. Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find ;).
why miles is a measuring unit for your explanation. It seems that you go from whatever measuring units that fit the bill.
The mile is a very ancient metrological unit. A more suitable one doesn't come to mind.
I'm in Papua new Guinea I really want to know more about this
One thing I'd question; the source of the word gematria. I learned it was gama-tria or gamma=3!

Excellent!
72 thumbs up when I clicked. Septenary gematria for Lord Jesus Christ is 72 😀🙏 my namesday is 8640h into the year or 360days. Numbers are so much fun!
What’s the best online resource for gematria calculations?
There are several calculators on this site (although I do not vouch for the accuracy of the information on it): www.gematrix.org/
😊
Love the video but please stop calling a pentagon a pentagun. The "o" isn't a "u".
*gulp*
