1946 תש״ו–תש״ז
1946 spans two Hebrew years: 5706 (תש״ו) until Rosh Hashanah and 5707 (תש״ז) after it. 1946 appears 910,852 times as an equidistant letter sequence in the Torah at skips 2–5,000, 0.7% more than chance alone would give (about 904,430; probability 7.7 × 10⁻¹²).

In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, תש״ו appears 910,852 times in the Torah — 0.7% more than the 904,430 chance alone would give; the probability of 910,852 or more by chance alone is 7.7 × 10⁻¹².
The shortest skip at which תש״ו appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:25, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), תש״ו is found 14,519,818 times; chance alone would give about 14,018,275.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 904,430 of it, so a large count is expected.
