Hebrew years

5730 תש״ל

5730 (תש״ל) is the Hebrew year that runs from autumn 1969 to autumn 1970. In the Torah codes, 5730 is found 650,075 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 4:18) — 1.7% above the 638,934 chance alone would give (probability of 650,075 or more by chance alone: 3.3 × 10⁻⁴⁴).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 650,075 sequences of תש״ל at skips 2–5,000, 1.7% above what chance alone gives (about 638,934); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 3.3 × 10⁻⁴⁴ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 4:18, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 10,286,094 sequences of תש״ל, against about 9,903,193 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 638,934 of it, so a large count is expected.
