In the Torah

The Torah holds 4,111,205 sequences of חלב across every skip (2–152,424) — about what chance alone gives (about 4,156,988).

The shortest skip at which חלב appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 24:14, reading forward.

The longest skip at which חלב was found in the Torah is 152,310 — at Deuteronomy 34:11, reading backward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.

A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 4,156,988 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range

5 of the 4,111,205 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.
