1918 תרע״ח–תרע״ט

1918 spans two Hebrew years: 5678 (תרע״ח) until Rosh Hashanah and 5679 (תרע״ט) after it. In the Torah codes, 1918 is found 95,064 times across every skip (2–101,616), the shortest at skip 2 (Deuteronomy 34:3) — 0.7% above the 94,375 chance alone would give (probability of 95,064 or more by chance alone: 0.01).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 4 letters (2–101,616), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 9,018 found · chance alone about 9,057 (probability of 9,018 or more by chance alone: 0.66).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 95,064 sequences of תרע״ח across every skip (2–101,616), 0.7% above what chance alone gives (about 94,375); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.01 by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Deuteronomy 34:3, reading backward.

The longest skip at which תרע״ח was found in the Torah is 101,143 — at Genesis 1:9, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 95,064 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.

Under each example, every letter of the sequence is listed with the verse it stands in. A letter falls in its verse by position alone — one letter every so many letters of the text — so the verses are where the letters stand, not part of the sequence's meaning.
