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: 211,540 found · chance alone about 208,298 (probability of 211,540 or more by chance alone: 6.9 × 10⁻¹³).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), תש״ד appears 3,347,972 times in the Torah — 3.7% more than the 3,228,523 chance alone would give; the probability of 3,347,972 or more by chance alone is below 10⁻³⁰⁰.
The shortest skip at which תש״ד appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 18:19, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תש״ד was found in the Torah is 152,225 — at Genesis 1:7, 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 3,228,523 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 3,347,972 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.
