In the Torah

The Torah holds 3,628 sequences of תשס״ט across every skip (2–101,616), 9.3% above what chance alone gives (about 3,320); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 7.2 × 10⁻⁸ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 18 — at Genesis 41:51, reading backward.

The longest skip at which תשס״ט was found in the Torah is 100,069 — at Deuteronomy 32:39, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 3,628 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.
