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: 24,555 found · chance alone about 24,279 (probability of 24,555 or more by chance alone: 0.04).
In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for דרור, and בר, נתן have their own figures under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
245,616 sequences of דרור across every skip (2–101,616) in the Torah, close to the 252,987 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which דרור appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 46:16, reading backward.
The longest skip at which דרור was found in the Torah is 101,297 — 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 245,616 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.
