Does AtBash change the chart permanently?

No. For each letter you substitute, then read the partner’s Hechrachi value for the sum.

What is aleph in AtBash on this site?

Aleph → tav; tav’s Hechrachi value is 400.

What is aleph in AlBam?

Aleph → lamed; lamed is 30 in Hechrachi.

Is Mispar Katan a substitution cipher?

No. Katan reduces each Hechrachi letter value to one digit, then sums. It is on the same advanced page.

Do you compute Milui here?

No. Milui is listed as not computed on the advanced methods page.

AtBash and AlBam Basics

These are substitution ciphers first. The gematria total is the partners’ Hechrachi sum.

Open advanced methods Hebrew suite

This article supports the Advanced methods. It does not replace that page — use the links below when you are ready to calculate or read the core guide.

AtBash

AtBash pairs letters from the ends of the aleph–bet toward the middle: א↔ת, ב↔ש, ג↔ר, and so on. On this site the total is the sum of each partner’s Mispar Hechrachi value — not the original letter’s value. Practise the live tabs in the advanced Hebrew methods module.

AlBam

AlBam pairs the first eleven letters with the last eleven (א↔ל, ב↔מ, … כ↔ת). Again the sum uses Hechrachi values of the partners after substitution.

Aleph examples

Single aleph AtBash: א=400 = 400 (partner tav). Single aleph AlBam: א=30 = 30 (partner lamed).

Mispar Katan on שלום: ש=3 + ל=3 + ו=6 + ם=4 = 16 — each Hechrachi letter value reduced to one digit, then added. That is not a substitution cipher; it shares the advanced methods page because it is another non-default Hebrew method.

Limits

These tabs count Hebrew letters. Latin A–Z belongs on English tools. Methods like Milui or Kidmi are named but not computed — see the methods catalog.
