Chet · חטא

Chet (חטא) — Sin, missing the mark.

Gematria counts the Hebrew letters of חטא: Chet ח = 8, Tet ט = 9, Aleph א = 1. 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 Chai (חי, living, alive) — 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.
