Years

2010 תש״ע–תשע״א

2010 spans two Hebrew years: 5770 (תש״ע) until Rosh Hashanah and 5771 (תשע״א) after it. In the Torah codes, 2010 is found 342,232 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 9:24) — 2.7% above the 333,241 chance alone would give (probability of 342,232 or more by chance alone: 1.6 × 10⁻⁵⁴).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 342,232 sequences of תש״ע at skips 2–5,000, 2.7% above what chance alone gives (about 333,241); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.6 × 10⁻⁵⁴ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 9:24, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 5,358,464 sequences of תש״ע, against about 5,165,087 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 333,241 of it, so a large count is expected.
