In the Alef-Bet entries, “Value” is the numeric value of the letter. Anciently, Hebrew didn't have the modern numerals 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. So, the Aleph-Bet served double duty also representing numbers. The letters Alef through Tet are 1 through 9. Yod through Qof are 10 through 90. Resh through Tav are 100 through 400. Sometimes, the five final forms (sofit letters) are 500 through 900.
