Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 4 letters (2–101,616), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 65,937 found · chance alone about 66,133 (probability of 65,937 or more by chance alone: 0.78).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 696,408 sequences of יעלם across every skip (2–101,616), 1.1% above what chance alone gives (about 689,095); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 7.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 22:5, reading backward.
The longest skip at which יעלם was found in the Torah is 101,548 — at Genesis 1:5, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 696,408 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.
