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: 420,066 found · chance alone about 419,704 (probability of 420,066 or more by chance alone: 0.29).
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 בעל, and המון has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
Across every skip (2–152,424), בעל appears 6,624,606 times in the Torah — 1.8% more than the 6,505,233 chance alone would give; the probability of 6,624,606 or more by chance alone is below 10⁻³⁰⁰.
The shortest skip at which בעל appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 3:6, reading forward.
The longest skip at which בעל was found in the Torah is 152,377 — at Genesis 1:1, 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 6,505,233 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 6,624,606 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.
