Mispar Gadol מספר גדול

Mispar gadol, the “large” count, is the standard count with one change: the five final forms continue the series past tav instead of repeating their base letters — final kaf 500, final mem 600, final nun 700, final peh 800, final tzadi 900. Every other letter keeps its standard value, so the two counts differ only where a final form is written.

Reading results under Gadol

A search under Gadol lists every word, every run of adjacent words within a verse, and every whole verse of the Tanakh whose Gadol value equals your number — in canonical order, from Bereshit 1:1 forward, never ranked. A word with no final letter has the same value here as in Standard.
