Baal (Hebrew: בַּעַל, transliteration: *Baʿal*; Arabic: بعل, transliteration: *Baʿal*; Ugaritic: 𐎁𐎓𐎍, transliteration: *bʿl*) is a term with multiple meanings in the ancient Near East. Primarily, it refers to a title or epithet meaning "lord," "master," or "owner," often used in reference to various deities, particularly the storm and fertility god of the Canaanites and other ancient Semitic peoples. In the context of ancient Canaanite religion, Baal was a prominent deity associated with storms, rain, fertility, and agriculture. The most well-known Baal is Baal Hadad, the storm god who was part of the Canaanite pantheon. The term "Baal" is also found in the Hebrew Bible, where it is often used to refer to foreign gods or idols, reflecting the biblical authors' disapproval of the worship of deities other than Yahweh. In modern Hebrew, the term "Baal" (בעל) can also mean "husband" or "owner."
This site lets you convert words, names, and phrases into numerical values using different gematria systems. You can use the main calculator gematria tool at the top of the page: type your text, choose a method, and press Convert.
The calculator gematria tool supports multiple alphabets and standard letter–number mappings. More systems will be added in the future.
The reverse gematria calculator uses the same alphabet as the standard system but assigns values in reverse order (for example, A = 26, B = 25, …, Z = 1 in a basic English reverse setup). This lets you compare standard and reverse values for the same text.
