Hatach התך
Hatach (התך) is a person named in the Tanakh — Hathach. In the Torah codes, Hatach is found 654,152 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 19:33) — 2.6% above the 637,752 chance alone would give (probability of 654,152 or more by chance alone: 3.1 × 10⁻⁹³).

In the Torah
The Torah holds 654,152 sequences of התך at skips 2–5,000, 2.6% above what chance alone gives (about 637,752); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 3.1 × 10⁻⁹³ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 19:33, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 10,230,213 sequences of התך, against about 9,884,884 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 637,752 of it, so a large count is expected.
