Pekahiah פקחיה

Pekahiah (פקחיה) is a person named in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Pekahiah is found 1,275 times across every skip (2–76,212), the shortest at skip 33 (Genesis 35:29) — about what chance alone gives (about 1,267).

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: 168 found · chance alone about 161 (probability of 168 or more by chance alone: 0.29).

In the Torah

Across every skip (2–76,212), פקחיה appears 1,275 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,267, so the count is in line with chance.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 33 — at Genesis 35:29, reading backward.

The longest skip at which פקחיה was found in the Torah is 75,569 — at Deuteronomy 34:1, reading backward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

  • Exodus 259

Examples across the range

5 of the 1,275 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.
