gematria of 262 and 912
-
i was looking into these two number, 262 being related to 'Aaron, moses' brother and high priest'. And 912 being plural of 506 (in AC's 777) relating to a phoeniceon goddess of prosperity.
is there a good source to find any hebrew phrases that add up to these numbers?

you could always use simply letters to 'explain' the numbers - e.g. 262 = Resh, Samekh, Beth ( RSB - BRS - SRB - RBS.. etc). some of these combinations of letters have meaning in hebrew, some don't - in the same sense as words in a language have, but they nevertheless convey a meaning from the qabalistic point of view.

where would be a good place to look for the meaning of these combinations? I really do not know much when it comes to gematria, and i noticed quite a few 'motto's' relate to certain phrase's which adds up to a certain number ect... I wouldnt mind getting a grasp on this subject so i can create a motto that 'fits' me and the goals im going for at the moment. 262 and 912 are the numbers i got from my first witch name to see if it pertains any value to me in from a qabalistical standpoint, although Nun has the value of 50 and 700? so i added it up both ways, does it matter which value you use for Nun?

I think what Danica meant is that some of these letter sequences are also actual words - that you could look up in a Hebrew dictionary. For example, the numeral 418 is writteh Cheth Yod Tav, which is also the spelling of the word Cheth.
Besides that, you just meditate on the letters. (BTW, Danica, that was a very excellent suggestion.) This is the way to approach the real essence of a number: Write it in Hebew and read it as letters. Most of the time, the Tarot is the best tool for this, so that laying out The Sun (Resh, 200), Art (Samekh, 60), The Magus (Beth, 2) gets you started.

There isn't room here for a full primer on this, but here are some pointers:
-
Each number has an intrinsic mathematical quality - that is, each integer has certain relationships to other members of the set of all integers. The most common example (for non-primes) is that each number has other numbers as its factors. (418 is inherently 2 x 11 x 19.) There are other mathematical relationships possible - for example, a given number might be the sum of all the numbers up to X, and therefore has a relationship to X. (36 is related to 6 by being 6 x 6, but also to 8 by being 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8.)
-
Each number has a distinctive Hebrew quality, indicated by the Hebrew letters forming it. (See above.)
-
Numbers have significance from words that have that value. Not all words - some are prioritized. As Paul Case cogently wrote in his course "The Magical Language," not all Hebrew words are part of The Magical Language. (I might say, instead, that they all are part of it, but that there is a prioritization based on such things as how reserved the word is to specialized use.)
3B. And, of course, other languages (especially Greek and Latin) contribute meaning to a number also. These can all be combined. But when thee are a lot of words to sort through, the combining could be confusing. One way to filter this is to asses the words from a single languagte first, and draw conclusions, before combining with other languages. Sometimes, though, a number will have nearly identical meaning in multiple languages, and then that's a standout. For example, 73 is not only ChKMH, chokmah, in Hebrew, but in Latin gives us Minerva (Roman goddess of Wisdom) and Tahuti (Egyptian god of Wisdom).
In a separate post I'll give you some particulars on these numbers.

aporia - DoubtThese are mostly from standard lists. Additionally, I have 35 other instances of words enumerating to 262 in the Torah. These are not necessarily as important to the Magical Language. Some of the more interesting (with what we already know of the number above) are:
VDBRYM (v'debariym) - Speech
HAVRYM (ha-ooriym) - The Urim912
(Tzaddi Yod Beth : 2^4x3x19)
This number has been of personal interest, because it is the value of one of my most important mottos (but I use an older spelling than the one given below, which has a different numeration).HEBREW
