In the Torah

Across every skip (2–152,424), ענה appears 7,383,180 times in the Torah — 1.0% more than the 7,312,355 chance alone would give; the probability of 7,383,180 or more by chance alone is 5.0 × 10⁻¹⁵¹.

The shortest skip at which ענה appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 2:10, reading forward.

The longest skip at which ענה was found in the Torah is 152,403 — at Deuteronomy 34:12, reading backward; 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 7,312,355 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range

5 of the 7,383,180 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.
