Data

Texts

The text of "Bereishit" (the Book of Genesis) as a table of letters is available from my site (see below). All the five books of the Torah, in a more readable format, are available online through links from the section "Data and Programs" of Torah Codes by B. McKay. More sources: Virtual Jerusalem, Shamash, TanachPage. The control texts used in the famous article [WRR94]

Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips and Yoav Rosenberg,
Equidistant letter sequences in the Book of Genesis,
Statistical Science, vol. 9, no. 3 (1994), pp. 429-438
namely, "War and Peace", the Book of Isaiah, and artifical texts obtained from Bereishit by random permutations, as well as Bereishit itself, are available from the ftp-archive by Yoav Rosenberg in a less readable format. The samples of words (names and dates) used in [WRR94] are available from Official Torah Codes (table 1, table 2), and Prophezine ( table 1, table 2).

Intermediate results of the computation

In principle I mean the computation reported in [WRR94], but in fact I present results of my own computations. It should be the same, but I act on my own responsibility, and my errors (if any) cannot bring discredit upon [WRR94].
