Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 695,504 found · chance alone about 694,083 (probability of 695,504 or more by chance alone: 0.04).
In the Torah
10,587,336 sequences of כות across every skip (2–152,424) in the Torah, close to the 10,757,981 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which כות appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 3:6, reading forward.
The longest skip at which כות was found in the Torah is 152,365 — at Deuteronomy 34:12, reading backward; 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 10,757,981 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 10,587,336 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.
