Horse סוס

Horse is written סוס in Hebrew. In the Torah codes, Horse is found 83,348 times across every skip (2–152,424), the shortest at skip 2 (Exodus 13:20) — about what chance alone gives (about 84,128).

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: 6,296 found · chance alone about 5,428 (probability of 6,296 or more by chance alone: 7.8 × 10⁻³¹).

In the Torah

Across every skip (2–152,424), סוס appears 83,348 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 84,128, so the count is in line with chance.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 13:20, reading forward.

The longest skip at which סוס was found in the Torah is 151,177 — at Genesis 2:11, reading forward; 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 84,128 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range

5 of the 83,348 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.
