Jorkeam ירקעם

Jorkeam (ירקעם) is the name of a place in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Jorkeam is found 6,981 times across every skip (2–76,212), the shortest at skip 8 (Leviticus 15:8) — 4.4% above the 6,688 chance alone would give (probability of 6,981 or more by chance alone: 0.00019).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 5 letters (2–76,212), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 846 found · chance alone about 849 (probability of 846 or more by chance alone: 0.54).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 6,981 sequences of ירקעם across every skip (2–76,212), 4.4% above what chance alone gives (about 6,688); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00019 by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 8 — at Leviticus 15:8, reading backward.

The longest skip at which ירקעם was found in the Torah is 75,483 — at Genesis 1:10, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range

5 of the 6,981 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.
