1949 תש״ט–תש״י
1949 spans two Hebrew years: 5709 (תש״ט) until Rosh Hashanah and 5710 (תש״י) after it. In the Torah codes, 1949 is found 55,859 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 22:10) — 4.5% above the 53,437 chance alone would give (probability of 55,859 or more by chance alone: 1.3 × 10⁻²⁵).

In the Torah
The Torah holds 55,859 sequences of תש״ט at skips 2–5,000, 4.5% above what chance alone gives (about 53,437); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.3 × 10⁻²⁵ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 22:10, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 865,323 sequences of תש״ט, against about 828,250 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 53,437 of it, so a large count is expected.

Also searched: תש״י
934,777 sequences of תש״י at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 934,733 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:1, reading forward.
At skips 2–5,000, תש״י appears 3,497,851 times in the whole Tanakh; chance alone would give about 3,523,831, so the count is in line with chance.
