The Hebrew word for the ark of the covenant is ha’arown (讛讗专讜谉
, “the ark”), with a gematria of 262. The first 262 decimal digits of Pi, e, and Phi (the golden ratio) each sum to 1192. The digit count that produces the shared sum is the gematria of the ark.
The Hebrew words for “ark”
English uses “ark” for both Noah’s vessel and the covenant chest. Hebrew does not.
| Word | Hebrew | Gematria | Used for |
|---|
| arown | 讗专讜谉 | 257 | Ark of the Covenant, Joseph’s coffin (Genesis 50:26
) |
| ha’arown | 讛讗专讜谉 | 262 | “The ark” with the definite article |
| tevah | 转讘讛 | 407 | Noah’s ark (Genesis 6:14
), Moses’ basket (Exodus 2:3
) |
Arown (讗专讜谉
, “chest, box”) appears throughout the Old Testament for the Ark of the Covenant and once for Joseph’s coffin. With the definite article he (讛
, value 5), it becomes ha’arown (讛讗专讜谉
), “the ark,” with a total gematria of 262.
Tevah (转讘讛
, “vessel, container”) refers to a vessel that floats. It is used for Noah’s ark and for the basket that carried Moses on the Nile. It is never used for the Ark of the Covenant.

Three constants, one sum
The first 262 digits after the decimal point of three fundamental constants:
| Constant | Value | Sum of first 262 digits |
|---|
| Pi | 3.14159265… | 1192 |
| e | 2.71828182… | 1192 |
| Phi | 1.61803398… | 1192 |
Each sum is calculated by adding the individual digits through the 262nd decimal digit.
