Study Guide

No real meaning to this page — just a page listing an example of the kind of study of the Scriptures you can do. I've Listed the names of all of the lineage of Ya'akov, all the way up to his children, and their meanings. We've included the Gematria of the names as well. What is Gematria? Gematria is the numeric sum of the letters (Hebrew is an alphanumeric language), and a listing of other words that have the same value. In Jewish tradition, they will hold that this means these words are related. Is this Numerology? No, because no attempt is made to foretell the future, an essential distinction between Gematria and numerology (Gematria was well known in Yeshua's day. The so-called Epistle of Barnabas featured Gematria). Enjoy! Hopefully this will give you new ideas about how to do studies in the Scriptures.
