Seven Hundred and Seventy Seven ~ 777

Seven Hundred and Seventy Seven

Welcome to my blog on gematria, the merkabah and the birth of the alphabet. I hope you enjoyed the holiday season.  Although I promised I’d be back in the new year with an article about the Sefer Bahir and the Seven Palaces, that is taking rather longer to write than I had anticipated so I’ll bring that back at some time later this year.  Today I’d just like to share some of my recent findings about the gematria of the seven palaces which are proving to be quite a lot of fun.
The main Gates of the Seven Palaces
The main Gates of the Seven Palaces

Add together ALL of the main gates of the wheel for all the letters of the paths (not the palaces) to find the sum is 3108 which is 777 * 4:

[217 x 3] + [206 x 4] + 9 + 11 + 11 + 25 + 45 + 88 + 209 + 211 + 231 + 254 + 265 + 274 = 3108 = 777 x 4.

In respect of the gates, I thought these examples were pleasing compositions:

Gate of Shin = 12
Gate of Tav = 13
Gate of Tsade = 99
Gate of Qoph = 109
12 + 13 + 99 + 109 = 233 (the gate of the Seventh Palace).

670 – 452 = 218
218 + 265 + 217 = 700.


The Seven Palaces colour coded to HaShem.

When the Seven Palaces is organized into three columns it also totals to 777;
From Beth around to Heh on the left side; 2 + 8 + 1 + 40 + 4 + 200 + 5 = 260
From Beth to Heh down the middle; 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 200 + 60 + 5 = 282
From Beth around to Heh on the right side; 2 + 6 + 1 + 20 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 90 + 100 + 5 = 235
260 + 282 + 235 = 777.


I’ve also been doing a little bit of work with the organization of the bible at the moment.  According to the Masoretic text, there were 10 generations from Adam to Noah, inclusive. There were another 10 generations after Noah and to Abraham, inclusive.  This may not be a coincidence, but a sign of organization.  Perhaps, like the opening 2 chapters of Genesis, the rest of the text has been organized into an alphabetic acrostic of ancestors, but arranged to the 20 count? I’ve made some notes about the gematria of the names and although not all of them yielded to my examination, a few of them threw up some intriguing results. Speculatively then, using the same order as we find the first Genesis alphabetic acrostic;

Order.  Generation, (# of name), letter of the alphabet, mnemonic, [my notes];

  1. HaAdam, (50), Beth, The House of God [Note 50 + 2 Beth = 52 (weeks of the year).]
  2. Seth, (7), Aleph, Day and Night [Note ~ 7 for the days of the week.]
  3. Enos, (60), Gimel and Shin, The Sky and Fire – Heat – Warmth – Dry Land [Note ~ 60 x 3 gimel = 180.  60 x 3 shin = 180.  180 + 180 = 360 (degrees in a circle)…]
  4. Cainan, (210), Daleth and Tav, The Doors into and out of the World, and Time [Note ~ 7 x 30. Also, 210 – 4 = 206; the gate of the first path which is where the tav is located (דשתצקה).]
  5. Mahlaleel, (136), Heh, Stars and Starlight upon the World.
  6. Jared, (214), Vav, Birds and Fish [Note ~ 214 + 6 = 220.]
  7. Enoch, (84), Zayin, Cattle and Insects [Note ~ 84 / 7 = 12. 84 x 7 = 588.  588 / 12 = 49 = 7 x 7.]
  8. Methuselah, (91), Cheth, Sight – Vision – The Image of God [Note ~ 91 x 8 = 728 (364 x 2).]
  9. Lamech, (90), Teth, Food [Note ~ Teth is 9 so ‘Lamech’ is 10 x 9.]
  10. Noah, (58), Yod, Rest and Contemplation
  11. Shem, (43), Kaph, Mist – Rain and Desire [Note ~ 43 is half of אלהים ‘Elohim’ ]
  12. Arphaxad, (308), Lamed, Spirit – Neshamah [Note ~ 248 + 60 = 308.]
  13. Salah, (41), Mem, Pregnancy [Note ~ אם ‘Am’ means ‘mother’ with a value of 41.]
  14. Eber, (272), Nun, Life and Death
  15. Peleg, (113), Samekh, The Great River
  16. Reu, (276), Ayin, Temptation
  17. Serug, (212), Peh, Mating and sex [Note ~ 212 + 80 = 292 / 80 = 3.65, but also 212 / 80 = 2.65. Remove the decimal point in these results for 365 days in a year and 265; the gate of the samekh.]
  18. Nahor, (264), Tsade, Childbirth [Note ~ 264 days is the length of an average pregnancy.]
  19. Terah, (212), Qoph, The Moon – Woman – Eve [Note ~ the name of the Moon-god in North Syria was “Terah.”.]
  20. Abram / Abraham, (243 / 248), Resh, The Sun – Man – Adam.

It begs the questions; if this alphabetic acrostic forms the basis of the generations of Adam, then does it follow suit for the descendants of Abraham too?  And if so, does this mean the Seven Palaces was used by biblical authors as a sort of… ancient sacred Filofax?  What do you think?

777 days a week

Welcome to my blog about gematria, the merkabah and the birth of the alephbet.  This is a short addendum to yesterdays post.

ראשון שני שלישי רביעי חמישי שישי שבת = 777

Gematria #    Hebrew     English  Transliteration 
 ראשון                  260  Sunday  Rishon
 שני                      63  Monday  Sheni
 שלישי                    56  Tuesday  Shlishi
 רביעי                  292  Wednesday  Revi’i
 חמישי                   71  Thursday  Chamishi
 שישי                    26  Friday  Shishi
 שבת                      9  Saturday  Shabbat

= 777

What are the odds that the days of the week would sum to 777?  Pretty incredible, isn’t it?  You can use my gematria calculator to check it out if you’d like;  Shematria.

Which is more likely… that the days of the week sum to seven hundred and seventy seven by coincidence?  Or that the seven words have been carefully pruned or developed to fit an ideal ‘perfect’ number to the glory of God?  And whom might have arranged for such a thing?  This poses a lot more questions than answers at the moment.  Let me know what you think.

Stay tuned for more numerical honey…
