1990 תש״נ–תשנ״א
1990 spans two Hebrew years: 5750 (תש״נ) until Rosh Hashanah and 5751 (תשנ״א) after it. In the Torah codes, 1990 is found 425,858 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 4:21) — 1.8% above the 418,432 chance alone would give (probability of 425,858 or more by chance alone: 1.2 × 10⁻³⁰).

In the Torah
The Torah holds 425,858 sequences of תש״נ at skips 2–5,000, 1.8% above what chance alone gives (about 418,432); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.2 × 10⁻³⁰ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 4:21, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 6,731,499 sequences of תש״נ, against about 6,485,512 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 418,432 of it, so a large count is expected.

Also searched: תשנ״א
36,776 sequences of תשנ״א at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 36,832 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Leviticus 15:31, reading forward.
At skips 2–5,000, תשנ״א appears 112,468 times in the whole Tanakh; chance alone would give about 112,321, so the count is in line with chance.
