In the Torah
The Torah holds 224,444 sequences of תשי״ד across every skip (2–101,616), 0.7% above what chance alone gives (about 222,794); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00024 by chance alone.

Examples across the range
5 of the 224,444 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.
