Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 5 letters (2–76,212), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 7,616 found · chance alone about 7,474 (probability of 7,616 or more by chance alone: 0.05).
In the Torah
56,909 sequences of יראון across every skip (2–76,212) in the Torah, close to the 58,903 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which יראון appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 21:30, reading backward.
The longest skip at which יראון was found in the Torah is 75,882 — at Genesis 1:19, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 56,909 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.
