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: 856,666 found · chance alone about 848,294 (probability of 856,666 or more by chance alone: 5.7 × 10⁻²⁰).
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 באר, and אלים has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 12,913,008 sequences of באר across every skip (2–152,424) — about what chance alone gives (about 13,148,191).
The shortest skip at which באר appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 8:6, reading forward.
The longest skip at which באר was found in the Torah is 152,324 — at Genesis 1:5, 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 13,148,191 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 12,913,008 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.
