Berachot — in Hebrew ברכות — blessings; the first tractate of the Talmud. Counted across every skip (2–76,212), the Torah holds 15,937 sequences of Berachot, the shortest at skip 2 (Leviticus 26:5); chance alone would give about 17,147.

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 5 letters (2–76,212), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 2,165 found · chance alone about 2,176 (probability of 2,165 or more by chance alone: 0.59).
In the Torah
15,937 sequences of ברכות across every skip (2–76,212) in the Torah, close to the 17,147 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which ברכות appears in the Torah is 2 — at Leviticus 26:5, reading forward.
The longest skip at which ברכות was found in the Torah is 74,931 — at Deuteronomy 31:29, reading backward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 15,937 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.
