One of my favourite Gematriot:
Kings I Chapt. 7 Verse 23:
"And he made a molten sea of TEN cubits from brim to brim, round in compass
..........., THIRTY cubits did compass it round about."
You and I know that the circumference was really 31.4159. But maybe it
really was........
Hebrew word for circumference is "Kav" (koof vav) , here it's written
"Koof Vav Hay" (but still pronounced [kree] Kav).
Gematria of Kree: Kav = koof + Vav = 100 + 6 = 106
of Ktiv: Koof + vav + hay = 100 + 6 + 5 = 111
Now, divide "ktiv" by "kree" and multiply by value of circumference
written in text.
111/106*30= 31.41509
Not bad, aye? I have a whole arsenal of gematriot, I'll type them in
if I'm bored one day.
