In the Torah
The Torah holds 143,106 sequences of תשפ״א across every skip (2–101,616), 9.6% above what chance alone gives (about 130,546); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 5.3 × 10⁻²⁵⁷ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 15:11, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תשפ״א was found in the Torah is 101,407 — at Genesis 1:6, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 143,106 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.
