The Torah holds 13,224 sequences of חכילה across every skip (2–76,212) — about what chance alone gives (about 14,498).

Examples across the range
5 of the 13,224 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.
