Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 4 letters (2–101,616), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 9,594 found · chance alone about 9,765 (probability of 9,594 or more by chance alone: 0.96).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–101,616), אסיר appears 106,085 times in the Torah — 4.3% more than the 101,752 chance alone would give; the probability of 106,085 or more by chance alone is 9.3 × 10⁻⁴².
The shortest skip at which אסיר appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 41:51, reading backward.
The longest skip at which אסיר was found in the Torah is 101,428 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 106,085 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.
