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: 25,192 found · chance alone about 24,384 (probability of 25,192 or more by chance alone: 1.3 × 10⁻⁷).

In the Torah

Across every skip (2–101,616), עינן appears 250,720 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 254,078, so the count is in line with chance.

The shortest skip at which עינן appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 14:19, reading forward.

The longest skip at which עינן was found in the Torah is 101,357 — at Deuteronomy 33:29, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 250,720 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.
