Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 75,754 found · chance alone about 74,142 (probability of 75,754 or more by chance alone: 1.8 × 10⁻⁹).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), אסן appears 1,214,421 times in the Torah — 5.7% more than the 1,149,171 chance alone would give; the probability of 1,214,421 or more by chance alone is below 10⁻³⁰⁰.
The shortest skip at which אסן appears in the Torah is 2 — at Numbers 36:7, reading forward.
The longest skip at which אסן was found in the Torah is 152,181 — at Deuteronomy 34:4, 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 1,149,171 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 1,214,421 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.
