Equidistant letter sequences · an interactive exploration
Search for hidden word patterns — equidistant letter sequences, the method behind the famous "Bible codes" — in the Hebrew Torah, side by side with four comparison texts of identical length.
Type Hebrew words or load a ready-made theme, then run the search. Everything happens in your browser: every skip distance from 2 up to your chosen limit, in both directions, across all five texts at once.
No search yet.
Add Hebrew words on the left — or load a preset theme — and run the search.
We scramble a Hebrew encyclopedia’s letters into random order and search each scramble for your words. Nothing from the Torah is used as the yardstick—so “the letters themselves are special” is no escape hatch.
A precomputed summary across thirteen ready-made themes — for each, the densest cluster found in each text: how many distinct theme words appeared together, and within how many letters. Load any theme in the search above to see its clusters live.
Why five texts, what a "cluster" means, the 1994 experiment and the 1999 rebuttal, and where the data comes from — all on the About page.
