Renan רנן
In Hebrew letters the first name Renan is written רנן — male given name. Renan appears 5,988,006 times as an equidistant letter sequence in the Torah across every skip (2–152,424), 0.9% more than chance alone would give (about 5,931,871; probability 1.8 × 10⁻¹¹⁷).

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: 392,411 found · chance alone about 382,712 (probability of 392,411 or more by chance alone: 3.0 × 10⁻⁵⁵).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), רנן appears 5,988,006 times in the Torah — 0.9% more than the 5,931,871 chance alone would give; the probability of 5,988,006 or more by chance alone is 1.8 × 10⁻¹¹⁷.
The shortest skip at which רנן appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 9:12, reading forward.
The longest skip at which רנן was found in the Torah is 152,405 — at Genesis 1:2, 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 5,931,871 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 5,988,006 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.
