Years

1954 תשי״ד–תשט״ו

1954 spans two Hebrew years: 5714 (תשי״ד) until Rosh Hashanah and 5715 (תשט״ו) after it. In the Torah codes, 1954 is found 224,444 times across every skip (2–101,616), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 21:9) — 0.7% above the 222,794 chance alone would give (probability of 224,444 or more by chance alone: 0.00024).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 224,444 sequences of תשי״ד across every skip (2–101,616), 0.7% above what chance alone gives (about 222,794); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00024 by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 21:9, reading forward.

The longest skip at which תשי״ד was found in the Torah is 101,180 — at Genesis 1:16, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 224,444 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.
