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: 622 found · chance alone about 591 (probability of 622 or more by chance alone: 0.11).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 6,191 sequences of חרחס across every skip (2–101,616) — about what chance alone gives (about 6,158).

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 12 — at Leviticus 4:35, reading backward.

The longest skip at which חרחס was found in the Torah is 100,181 — at Genesis 2:15, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

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

  • Genesis 1,695
  • Exodus 1,239
  • Leviticus 951

Examples across the range

5 of the 6,191 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.
