1942 תש״ב–תש״ג
1942 spans two Hebrew years: 5702 (תש״ב) until Rosh Hashanah and 5703 (תש״ג) after it. 1942 appears 7,778,291 times as an equidistant letter sequence in the Torah across every skip (2–152,424), 3.7% more than chance alone would give (about 7,504,297; probability below 10⁻³⁰⁰).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 489,943 found · chance alone about 484,162 (probability of 489,943 or more by chance alone: 5.6 × 10⁻¹⁷).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), תש״ב appears 7,778,291 times in the Torah — 3.7% more than the 7,504,297 chance alone would give; the probability of 7,778,291 or more by chance alone is below 10⁻³⁰⁰.
The shortest skip at which תש״ב appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 4:7, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תש״ב was found in the Torah is 152,344 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.
A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 7,504,297 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 7,778,291 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.
