This is not part of Hebrew Gematria as the original Hebrew Biblical manuscripts had no chapter or verse notation and were written on scrolls and assembled in different grouping then our modern English Bible. Numerically though it is interesting how things worked out in the English version. Now if we take the value of the 1st word “beresheet” and the 3rd word “Elohim” we get a total of 999. If you break this number down you get the equation 37 x 3 x 3 x 3. If you take the words “bara”, “et” and “hashamayim” these thre words add up to 999. Okay, notice first that there are a total of 7 words in this first verse which is the number of completion. The secret of the “one letter shift” in gematria is 1521, as above noted, which is 1118 plus 403. In both cases the initials of both names in gematria is 345, the gematria of Moses מֹשֶׁה, and more astonishingly, the three letters of Moses is exactly the three initials of Metatron Prince of the Faces. Shadai is called El Shadai אֵל שַׁדָּי, commonly translated as God Almighty, the gematria is 345. The English Ordinal Gematria is simply using the formal alphabets against increasing numbers of counting . We are using the simple increasing order counting for the English ordinal Gematria. I am using an example of the word Echad to explain these methods.
