The Hebrew Alef-Bet: meet the 22 letters
Everything in Hebrew starts with the 22 letters. The Alef-Bet tool gives each letter a page: its four forms, its final form where it has one, its sound, its gematria value, what it is built from, and the wisdom tradition has heard in it.
Open The Hebrew Alef-Bet in a new tab →
Step 1: Open the Alef-Bet
Tap Tools ▾ → The Hebrew Alef-Bet. The 22 letters appear in order, from Alef to Tav.
Step 2: Open a letter
Tap a letter to see its four forms, its sounds, its gematria, how the letter is composed, its first root in Scripture, and the meanings tradition gives it. Five letters (Kaf, Mem, Nun, Peh, Tsadi) have a final form (sofit) used at the end of a word.
Step 3: Use the reference cards
Under the letters, the Reference cards include: The Letters at a Glance (all 22 in one table), The Month–Letter Wheel, Alphabet Sermons, the Numbers Key (1 to 400) and Word Pictures.
Step 4: Close when done
