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: 36,855 found · chance alone about 36,962 (probability of 36,855 or more by chance alone: 0.71).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), עזן appears 633,864 times in the Torah — 11% more than the 572,895 chance alone would give; the probability of 633,864 or more by chance alone is below 10⁻³⁰⁰.
The shortest skip at which עזן appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 19:4, reading forward.
The longest skip at which עזן was found in the Torah is 152,106 — at Genesis 1:8, reading forward; 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 572,895 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 633,864 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.
