Ahumai (אחומי) is a person named in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Ahumai is found 42,205 times across every skip (2–76,212), the shortest at skip 2 (Numbers 9:7) — 1.7% above the 41,497 chance alone would give (probability of 42,205 or more by chance alone: 0.00026).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 5 letters (2–76,212), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 5,237 found · chance alone about 5,265 (probability of 5,237 or more by chance alone: 0.65).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 42,205 sequences of אחומי across every skip (2–76,212), 1.7% above what chance alone gives (about 41,497); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00026 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Numbers 9:7, reading forward.
The longest skip at which אחומי was found in the Torah is 75,623 — at Genesis 1:8, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 42,205 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.
