It's not usual to find a name encoded with the word for president. Below we see Sarah Palin (at minimum or best ELS) with her name spelled as it is in the Israeli press, and in a box of 72 letters with President. The probability for a match this good is one chance in 67 (p = 0.1478). What makes this matrix interesting is that the first letter of the encoded Sarah Palin is, in the open text, the first letter of Sarai, wife of Abram. As Sarai and Abram went on to have their names changes to Sarah (Genesis 17:15) and Abraham (Genesis 17:3), this matrix suggests that Sarah Palin may one day go on to have her title changed to President Palin. How does this name match improve the value of the matrix? Here there is plenty of room for arguement. For starters, I only noticed the match in names a posteriori. So by my usual protocal, I wouldn't add at all to the initial statistical value, but many will disagree and say that I should count it because it's such a good match. OK, let's count it. Then the question becomes one of how? In Hebrew, Sarah is just three letters (sin resh hey).Saraiis sin resh yud. If we search Torah just at skip +1 for these names, they occur 802 times. With President, they take the value of the matrix to one chance in 392 (p = .00255). But, what if we say that most of these matches are not necessarily with a Sarah or Sarai in the open text - and we want the odds for a match with an open text Sarah or Sarai? There are only 55 open texts uses of Sarah or Sarai in Torah. This will alter the odds to one chance in 5,244 (p = .00019) which, of course, is very interesting.
