Eliphaz אליפז

Eliphaz (אליפז) is a person named in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Eliphaz is found 1,707 times across every skip (2–76,212), the shortest at skip 27 (Deuteronomy 29:23) — about what chance alone gives (about 1,717).

Found in the Torah · every skip: 1,707
Chance alone · every skip: 1,717
P (≥ found) · every skip: 0.59

Examples across the range

5 of the 1,707 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.
