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: 16,406 found · chance alone about 16,400 (probability of 16,406 or more by chance alone: 0.48).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 168,898 sequences of דודי across every skip (2–101,616) — about what chance alone gives (about 170,885).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Numbers 18:15, reading forward.
The longest skip at which דודי was found in the Torah is 101,338 — at Deuteronomy 33:28, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 168,898 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.
