Valley עמק
Valley is written עמק in Hebrew. In the Torah codes, Valley is found 2,184,951 times across every skip (2–152,424), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 36:11) — 0.5% above the 2,173,522 chance alone would give (probability of 2,184,951 or more by chance alone: 4.8 × 10⁻¹⁵).

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: 139,678 found · chance alone about 140,231 (probability of 139,678 or more by chance alone: 0.93).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 2,184,951 sequences of עמק across every skip (2–152,424), 0.5% above what chance alone gives (about 2,173,522); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 4.8 × 10⁻¹⁵ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 36:11, reading forward.
The longest skip at which עמק was found in the Torah is 152,316 — at Genesis 1:5, 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 2,173,522 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 2,184,951 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.
