Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 4 letters (2–101,616), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 49,547 found · chance alone about 49,699 (probability of 49,547 or more by chance alone: 0.75).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 519,700 sequences of תשי״ב across every skip (2–101,616), 0.4% above what chance alone gives (about 517,857); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0053 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 25:12, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תשי״ב was found in the Torah is 101,311 — at Genesis 1:14, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 519,700 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.
