In the Torah
The Torah holds 10,877 sequences of חסיד across every skip (2–101,616), 3.7% above what chance alone gives (about 10,488); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 8.0 × 10⁻⁵ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 7 — at Numbers 12:16, reading backward.
The longest skip at which חסיד was found in the Torah is 100,660 — at Deuteronomy 34:9, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 10,877 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.
