***how does one read Gematria without knowing Hebrew?***

😌 It wouldn't work quite that way. If you are asking about Bible passages you can use a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and Hebrew and Greek Lexicons. That would indicate what word was used in the particular passage - Hebrew in the OT, Greek in the NT. Strong's lexicons are also available on line at such sites as this.

Strong's corresponds to the King James Version; I guess if you are using a different translation you would have to do a bit of comparative work between translations. I do not know of any comparable concordance/lexicons.

With Strong's, you look up the word {in KJV} in the particular book, chapter and verse you are studying; it gives a number for that word that appears in the lexicon. It is really pretty simple once you get used to working with it.

If you want the particular context of that passage and word, with any grammatical additions to the word {possessive, plural, tense, etc.} you would want an 'interlinear Bible text' which give the usual Bible book arrangement with chapter and verse; one line would have the English text and over or under that the Hebrew of Greek corresponding original; the English translation in an interlinear might just be representational, not a strict translation. Those may be available in more than just the KJV translation.

More resources could be available by searching the web. I use the old method and am stuck in my ways. 😏

I give a good rudimentary exposition of how it works on my web page. It can seem daunting at the start but with practice it gets routine.

Beyond the Bible languages and texts I know of no Gematria that I would have any confidence in.
