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: 127,816 found · chance alone about 126,774 (probability of 127,816 or more by chance alone: 0.0017).

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 אוני, and בן has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

Across every skip (2–101,616), אוני appears 1,321,867 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,320,967, so the count is in line with chance.

The shortest skip at which אוני appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 26:7, reading forward.

The longest skip at which אוני was found in the Torah is 101,600 — 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 1,321,867 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.
