In the Torah
44,840 sequences of הודיה across every skip (2–76,212) in the Torah, close to the 47,056 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 3 — at Leviticus 14:32, reading forward.
The longest skip at which הודיה was found in the Torah is 75,682 — at Deuteronomy 33:2, reading backward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 44,840 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.
