In the Torah

9,961,127 sequences of חוה across every skip (2–152,424) in the Torah, close to the 10,100,049 that chance alone would produce.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 2:24, reading forward.

The longest skip at which חוה was found in the Torah is 152,378 — at Genesis 1:2, 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 10,100,049 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range

5 of the 9,961,127 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.
