In the Torah
The Torah holds 82,565 sequences of עמעד across every skip (2–101,616), 3.1% above what chance alone gives (about 80,090); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.7 × 10⁻¹⁸ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 3 — at Leviticus 16:7, reading forward.
The longest skip at which עמעד was found in the Torah is 101,158 — at Genesis 1:2, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 82,565 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.
