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: 54,589 found · chance alone about 56,069 (probability of 54,589 or more by chance alone: 1.00).

In the Torah

Across every skip (2–101,616), כיון appears 561,928 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 584,233, so the count is in line with chance.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 14:25, reading forward.

The longest skip at which כיון was found in the Torah is 101,388 — at Genesis 1:6, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 561,928 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.
