Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 5 letters (2–76,212), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.

In the Torah

The Torah holds 16,898 sequences of דבלים across every skip (2–76,212) — about what chance alone gives (about 17,321).

The shortest skip at which דבלים appears in the Torah is 7 — at Genesis 44:30, reading backward.

The longest skip at which דבלים was found in the Torah is 76,003 — at Deuteronomy 33:28, reading backward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

By book (where the first letter stands) · every skip

  • Genesis 4,346
  • Exodus 3,400
  • Leviticus 2,087
  • Numbers 4,139
  • Deuteronomy 2,926

Examples across the range

5 of the 16,898 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.
