1944 תש״ד–תש״ה
1944 spans two Hebrew years: 5704 (תש״ד) until Rosh Hashanah and 5705 (תש״ה) after it. 1944 appears 211,540 times as an equidistant letter sequence in the Torah at skips 2–5,000, 1.6% more than chance alone would give (about 208,298; probability 6.9 × 10⁻¹³).

In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, תש״ד appears 211,540 times in the Torah — 1.6% more than the 208,298 chance alone would give; the probability of 211,540 or more by chance alone is 6.9 × 10⁻¹³.
The shortest skip at which תש״ד appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 18:19, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), תש״ד is found 3,347,972 times; chance alone would give about 3,228,523.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 208,298 of it, so a large count is expected.
