1947 תש״ז–תש״ח

1947 spans two Hebrew years: 5707 (תש״ז) until Rosh Hashanah and 5708 (תש״ח) after it. In the Torah codes, 1947 is found 1,050,630 times across every skip (2–152,424), the shortest at skip 2 (Exodus 26:29) — 4.1% above the 1,009,143 chance alone would give (probability of 1,050,630 or more by chance alone: 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: 69,144 found · chance alone about 65,108 (probability of 69,144 or more by chance alone: 1.5 × 10⁻⁵⁵).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 1,050,630 sequences of תש״ז across every skip (2–152,424), 4.1% above what chance alone gives (about 1,009,143); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of below 10⁻³⁰⁰ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 26:29, reading forward.

The longest skip at which תש״ז was found in the Torah is 152,187 — at Genesis 1:2, 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 1,009,143 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range

5 of the 1,050,630 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.
