1961 תשכ״א–תשכ״ב

1961 spans two Hebrew years: 5721 (תשכ״א) until Rosh Hashanah and 5722 (תשכ״ב) after it. In the Torah codes, 1961 is found 316,510 times across every skip (2–101,616), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 19:15) — about what chance alone gives (about 325,157).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 316,510 sequences of תשכ״א across every skip (2–101,616) — about what chance alone gives (about 325,157).

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 19:15, reading forward.

The longest skip at which תשכ״א was found in the Torah is 101,451 — at Genesis 1:2, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 316,510 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.
