    this basically makes hash out of gimtriyos... what happened to romemanu m'kol loshon?

    Which mathematical genius with too much time in their hands came up with this chiddush?

    דרש רבי שמלאי שש מאות ושלש עשרה מצות נאמרו לו למשה שלש מאות וששים וחמש לאוין כמנין ימות החמה ומאתים וארבעים ושמונה עשה כנגד איבריו של אדם אמר רב המנונא מאי קרא תורה צוה לנו משה מורשה תורה בגימטריא שית מאה וחד סרי הוי אנכי ולא יהיה לך מפי הגבורה שמענום

    ושטן מאי אמר א"ל שטן ביומא דכיפורי לית ליה רשותא לאסטוני ממאי אמר רמי בר חמא השטן בגמטריא תלת מאה ושיתין וארבעה הוי תלת מאה ושיתין וארבעה יומי אית ליה רשותא לאסטוני ביומא דכיפורי לית ליה רשותא לאסטוני
    Yoma 20 A

    I'm fairly caertain that only my grubba amharatzus prevents me from provding many more gemaros and midrashim.

    if you think that Safed Qabbalists or chassidshe Rebbes invented gimatriyos you err.

    The question is how to deal with this in a legitimate hashkofa basis.
    I've read and seen examples of how gematrias work in many languages. If you take any size book and randomly calculate the "gematrias of various words and search for potential connections, it’ll often work!

    More examples: Hand=27 and there are 27 bones in the hand!

    Lock=41, Key=41

    A dog and cat will fight so
    Dog=26, Cat=24, 26+24=50 and Fight=50.

    Day=30 the days of a month!
    Second=60, 60 seconds in a minute.
    Earth=52 the weeks of the year!

    So if you search for connections long enough, there are enough various calculations that’ll prove almost anything.
    Not sure how to hashkafically deal with that anomaly.
    Except to say that gematrias are only for comparing things NOT for halachic rulings????
    Anyone have some better pshat.

    (FYI I got my “english gematrias from another website that was mocking gematrias)
