Thahash תחש
Thahash (תחש) is a person named in the Tanakh — Tahash. In the Torah codes, Thahash is found 3,453,377 times across every skip (2–152,424), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 7:13) — 4.6% above the 3,300,605 chance alone would give (probability of 3,453,377 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: 225,047 found · chance alone about 212,948 (probability of 225,047 or more by chance alone: 4.7 × 10⁻¹⁴⁹).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 3,453,377 sequences of תחש across every skip (2–152,424), 4.6% above what chance alone gives (about 3,300,605); 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 7:13, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תחש was found in the Torah is 152,376 — 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 3,300,605 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 3,453,377 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.
