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: 508 found · chance alone about 495 (probability of 508 or more by chance alone: 0.28).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 4,093 sequences of עיסאם across every skip (2–76,212), 5.0% above what chance alone gives (about 3,898); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.001 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 5 — at Leviticus 27:19, reading backward.
The longest skip at which עיסאם was found in the Torah is 75,691 — at Deuteronomy 33:15, reading backward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 4,093 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.
