In the Torah

The Torah holds 73,342 sequences of בלגה across every skip (2–101,616) — about what chance alone gives (about 74,820).

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 9:2, reading forward.

The longest skip at which בלגה was found in the Torah is 101,324 — at Genesis 1:18, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 73,342 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.
