Hinnom הנם
Hinnom (הנם) is a person named in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Hinnom is found 16,474,123 times across every skip (2–152,424), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 2:10) — 1.0% above the 16,308,176 chance alone would give (probability of 16,474,123 or more by chance alone: below 10⁻³⁰⁰).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 1,050,543 found · chance alone about 1,052,170 (probability of 1,050,543 or more by chance alone: 0.94).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 16,474,123 sequences of הנם across every skip (2–152,424), 1.0% above what chance alone gives (about 16,308,176); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of below 10⁻³⁰⁰ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 2:10, reading forward.
The longest skip at which הנם was found in the Torah is 152,377 — at Deuteronomy 34:12, reading backward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.
A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 16,308,176 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 16,474,123 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.
