Computer talk... The G'matriya matches that have begun to reappear in Torah Tidbits (after a long hiatus) are facilitated by a program by Torah Educational Software called Torah Codes 2000. Personally, I'm not "into" the codes searched for by equidistant letter sequences, I do have "fun" with the G'matriya capabilities of the program.

I'll describe my method of finding GMs and you will see some of what the TES program can do.

I "open" the Book of Bamidbar to chapter 19. The whole perek pops up in a window on the screen. You can pop up at the same time, the English translation of the opened text. I then block a pasuk or piece of text of my choice and paste it into the G'matriya Lookup window. Clicking on FIND will reveal any p'sukim in Tanach with the same G'matriya as inputted. Although the program allows partial p'sukim, I find the results more satisfying if only whole p'sukim are used. It is basically using p'sukim from the sedra that make a statement and the hope of finding another pasuk matched numerically that allows making some kind of statement about the pair.
