Chai · חי

Chai (חי) — Living, alive.

Gematria counts the Hebrew letters of חי: Chet ח = 8, Yod י = 10. Its standard value (Mispar Hechrachi) is 18; its ordinal value (Mispar Siduri) is 18; its Mispar Gadol value is 18.

In gematria it shares its standard value with Chet (חטא, sin, missing the mark) — each also 18.

Gematria is a contemplative tool for reading Scripture, not a substitute for it. Explore the Name and the sacred words in the Tetragrammaton Explorer at HolyTechAI.
