The seven last words of Jesus Christ on the cross, as recorded in the New Testament, are traditionally understood as his final statements before his death. (Part C) | 7 Words of Jesus

-Hebrew Transliteration-: אבא, סלח להם, כי הם לא יודעים מה הם עושים  
  (Abba, slach lahem, ki hem lo yod’im ma hem osim)
– Hebrew Text-: אבא סלח להם כי הם לא יודעים מה הם עושים

– Gematria Calculation (simplified to key phrase “סלח להם” – “forgive them”):
  – ס (Samekh) = 60
  – ל (Lamed) = 30
  – ח (Chet) = 8
  – ל (Lamed) = 30
  – ה (Heh) = 5
  – ם (Mem sofit) = 40
  – Total: 60 + 30 + 8 + 30 + 5 + 40 = 173

– Numerological Note: 173 is a prime number, symbolising uniqueness or indivisibility, possibly reflecting the singular act of divine forgiveness.
In Jewish numerology, numbers are often reduced (e.g., 1+7+3=11, 1+1=2), where 2 can symbolise duality or mercy, balancing justice.

– Hebrew Transliteration: אמן, אני אומר לך, היום תהיה עמי בגן עדן  
  (Amen, ani omer lecha, hayom tihyeh imi b’gan eden)
– Hebrew Text: אמן אני אומר לך היום תהיה עמי בגן עדן

– Gematria Calculation (simplified to “בגן עדן” – “in Paradise”):
  – ב (Bet) = 2
  – ג (Gimel) = 3
  – ן (Nun sofit) = 50
  – ע (Ayin) = 70
  – ד (Dalet) = 4
  – ן (Nun sofit) = 50
  – Total: 2 + 3 + 50 + 70 + 4 + 50 = 179

– Numerological Note: 179 is also a prime number, suggesting purity or a unique promise. Reduced (1+7+9=17, 1+7=8), 8 in Jewish numerology often symbolises new beginnings, aligning with the promise of eternal life.

– Hebrew Transliteration: אישה, הנה בנך! … הנה אמך!  
  (Isha, hineh binch! … Hineh imech!)
– Hebrew Text: אישה הנה בנך הנה אמך

– Gematria Calculation (simplified to “הנה בנך” – “behold your son”):
  – ה (Heh) = 5
  – נ (Nun) = 50
  – ה (Heh) = 5
  – ב (Bet) = 2
  – נ (Nun) = 50
  – ך (Kaf sofit) = 20
  – Total: 5 + 50 + 5 + 2 + 50 + 20 = 132

– Numerological Note: 132 reduces to 1+3+2=6, where 6 can symbolise human connection or responsibility, fitting Jesus’ entrustment of Mary and John to each other.

– Hebrew Transliteration: אלי, אלי, למה עזבתני?  
  (Eli, Eli, lama azavtani?)
– Hebrew Text: אלי אלי למה עזבתני

– Gematria Calculation (simplified to “למה עזבתני” – “why have you forsaken me”):
  – ל (Lamed) = 30
  – מ (Mem) = 40
  – ה (Heh) = 5
  – ע (Ayin) = 70
  – ז (Zayin) = 7
  – ב (Bet) = 2
  – ת (Tav) = 400
  – נ (Nun) = 50
  – י (Yud) = 10
  – Total: 30 + 40 + 5 + 70 + 7 + 2 + 400 + 50 + 10 = 614

– Numerological Note: 614 reduces to 6+1+4=11, then 1+1=2, symbolising separation or duality, reflecting the cry of abandonment. Notably, this phrase directly quotes Psalm 22:1 in Hebrew, tying it to messianic prophecy.

– Hebrew Transliteration: אני צמא  
  (Ani tzame)
– Hebrew Text: אני צמא

– Gematria Calculation:
  – א (Aleph) = 1
  – נ (Nun) = 50
  – י (Yud) = 10
  – צ (Tzadi) = 90
  – מ (Mem) = 40
  – א (Aleph) = 1
  – Total: 1 + 50 + 10 + 90 + 40 + 1 = 192

– Numerological Note: 192 reduces to 1+9+2=12, then 1+2=3, where 3 can symbolise completeness or divine will, possibly reflecting Jesus’ human suffering and divine purpose.

– Hebrew Transliteration: זה נגמר  
  (Zeh nigmar)
– Hebrew Text: זה נגמר

– Gematria Calculation:
  – ז (Zayin) = 7
  – ה (Heh) = 5
  – נ (Nun) = 50
  – ג (Gimel) = 3
  – מ (Mem) = 40
  – ר (Reish) = 200
  – Total: 7 + 5 + 50 + 3 + 40 + 200 = 305

– Numerological Note: 305 reduces to 3+0+5=8, symbolising completion or a new order, fitting the declaration of the fulfilment of Jesus’ mission.

– Hebrew Transliteration: אבא, בידיך אני מפקיד את רוחי  
  (Abba, b’yadecha ani mafkid et ruchi)
– Hebrew Text: אבא בידיך אני מפקיד את רוחי

– Gematria Calculation (simplified to “אני מפקיד” – “I commit”):
  – א (Aleph) = 1
  – נ (Nun) = 50
  – י (Yud) = 10
  – מ (Mem) = 40
  – פ (Peh) = 80
  – ק (Kof) = 100
  – י (Yud) = 10
  – ד (Dalet) = 4
  – Total: 1 + 50 + 10 + 40 + 80 + 100 + 10 + 4 = 295

- Hebrew Transliteration: Since the New Testament was written in Greek, the Hebrew phrases are modern translations or transliterations of the Greek or English texts. For statements like the fourth (quoting Psalm 22:1), the original Hebrew from the Tanakh is used.

- Gematria: Hebrew gematria assigns numerical values to letters, and the totals are often interpreted symbolically. Reduction (summing digits) is a common practice to derive simpler meanings. The interpretations here are speculative and align with traditional Jewish numerological themes (e.g., 7 for perfection, 8 for new beginnings).

- Biblical Context: The references are drawn from the canonical Gospels. The fourth and seventh sayings connect directly to Psalms, reinforcing their messianic significance.

- Numerology Limitations: Gematria is not a precise science and is open to interpretation. The values provided are based on standard Hebrew letter values, but deeper mystical meanings (e.g., in Kabbalah) would require more context.
