Computer מחשב

Computer is written מחשב in Hebrew. In the Torah codes, Computer is found 16,131 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 8:14) — 1.9% above the 15,826 chance alone would give (probability of 16,131 or more by chance alone: 0.0079).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 16,131 sequences of מחשב at skips 2–5,000, 1.9% above what chance alone gives (about 15,826); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0079 by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 8:14, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 101,616, the Torah holds 175,927 sequences of מחשב, against about 164,905 from chance alone.
