Gerizim גרזים
Gerizim (גרזים) is the name of a place in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Gerizim is found 600 times across every skip (2–76,212), the shortest at skip 30 (Leviticus 16:24) — about what chance alone gives (about 587).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 5 letters (2–76,212), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 69 found · chance alone about 74.5 (probability of 69 or more by chance alone: 0.75).
In the Torah
600 sequences of גרזים across every skip (2–76,212) in the Torah, close to the 587 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 30 — at Leviticus 16:24, reading forward.
The longest skip at which גרזים was found in the Torah is 74,949 — at Deuteronomy 32:30, reading backward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 600 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.
