How do I go about finding the numbering of names in old testament?

They used a numbering system for men's names like all of God's names equal 7

Update:

Bashful-I have the hebrew alphabet with corresponding numbers.What I'm looking for actually is 666 the number of a MAN.

I don't know how to add the numbers or if the NAME is in hebrew.Pretty complicated and I guess I'm off on a tanget or a nut mission

    You would need to talk to a Rabbi that is into Kabbalah. Else, the hebrew alphabet of 22 letters found on Psalm 119 goes like aleph=1,

    bet=2 until yod=10 and then every letter is 20, 30 40, etc. until you reach 100, then 200 and 400.

    And did you ever notice it's ALL men's names?
