Space — in Hebrew חלל — outer space. Space appears 357,950 times as an equidistant letter sequence in the Torah at skips 2–5,000, 1.1% more than chance alone would give (about 353,936; probability 8.2 × 10⁻¹²).

In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, חלל appears 357,950 times in the Torah — 1.1% more than the 353,936 chance alone would give; the probability of 357,950 or more by chance alone is 8.2 × 10⁻¹².
The shortest skip at which חלל appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:22, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), חלל is found 5,427,822 times; chance alone would give about 5,485,851.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 353,936 of it, so a large count is expected.
