Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 1,193,655 found · chance alone about 1,185,420 (probability of 1,193,655 or more by chance alone: 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁴).
In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for עיי, and העברים has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
Across every skip (2–152,424), עיי appears 17,712,871 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 18,373,491, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 1:7, reading forward.
The longest skip at which עיי was found in the Torah is 152,410 — at Deuteronomy 34:12, 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 18,373,491 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 17,712,871 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.
