Mizzah מזה

Mizzah (מזה) is a person named in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Mizzah is found 2,810,951 times across every skip (2–152,424), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 11:6) — 11% above the 2,537,546 chance alone would give (probability of 2,810,951 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: 164,112 found · chance alone about 163,717 (probability of 164,112 or more by chance alone: 0.16).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 2,810,951 sequences of מזה across every skip (2–152,424), 11% above what chance alone gives (about 2,537,546); 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 11:6, reading forward.

The longest skip at which מזה was found in the Torah is 152,408 — at Genesis 1:1, 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 2,537,546 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range

5 of the 2,810,951 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.
