In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for אריאל.
Across every skip (2–76,212), אריאל appears 75,351 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 79,713, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 1:3, reading forward.
The longest skip at which אריאל was found in the Torah is 76,037 — at Genesis 1:10, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 75,351 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.
