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: 162,885 found · chance alone about 165,421 (probability of 162,885 or more by chance alone: 1.00).
In the Torah
2,498,906 sequences of תר״פ across every skip (2–152,424) in the Torah, close to the 2,563,959 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Numbers 16:13, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תר״פ was found in the Torah is 152,226 — 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 2,563,959 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 2,498,906 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.
