In the Torah

The Torah holds 68 sequences of גדרתים across every skip (2–60,969) — about what chance alone gives (about 88.5).

The longest skip at which גדרתים was found in the Torah is 54,836 — at Deuteronomy 23:4, reading backward; a spelling of 6 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 60,969.

Examples across the range

5 of the 68 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.
