5700 ה׳ת״ש
5700 (ה׳ת״ש) is the Hebrew year that runs from autumn 1939 to autumn 1940. 5700 appears 13,365,203 times as an equidistant letter sequence in the Torah across every skip (2–152,424), 3.8% more than chance alone would give (about 12,880,578; probability below 10⁻³⁰⁰).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 855,289 found · chance alone about 831,028 (probability of 855,289 or more by chance alone: 7.2 × 10⁻¹⁵⁵).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), ה׳ת״ש appears 13,365,203 times in the Torah — 3.8% more than the 12,880,578 chance alone would give; the probability of 13,365,203 or more by chance alone is below 10⁻³⁰⁰.
The shortest skip at which ה׳ת״ש appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 6:15, reading forward.
The longest skip at which ה׳ת״ש was found in the Torah is 152,411 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.
A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 12,880,578 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 13,365,203 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.
