In the Torah

1,479 sequences of דורותי across every skip (2–60,969) in the Torah, close to the 1,558 that chance alone would produce.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 41 — at Deuteronomy 17:6, reading backward.

The longest skip at which דורותי was found in the Torah is 59,005 — at Deuteronomy 32:39, reading backward; a spelling of 6 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 60,969.

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

  • Genesis 439
  • Exodus 278
  • Leviticus 187
  • Numbers 310
  • Deuteronomy 265

Examples across the range

5 of the 1,479 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.
