In the Torah
Across every skip (2–101,616), תרפ״א appears 157,299 times in the Torah — 3.7% more than the 151,725 chance alone would give; the probability of 157,299 or more by chance alone is 3.3 × 10⁻⁴⁶.
The shortest skip at which תרפ״א appears in the Torah is 2 — at Numbers 16:13, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תרפ״א was found in the Torah is 101,364 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 157,299 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.
