In the Torah

The Torah holds 1,211 sequences of גדרות across every skip (2–76,212) — about what chance alone gives (about 1,300).

The shortest skip at which גדרות appears in the Torah is 17 — at Genesis 6:3, reading backward.

The longest skip at which גדרות was found in the Torah is 73,619 — at Genesis 6:4, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

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

Examples across the range

5 of the 1,211 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.
