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: 2,784 found · chance alone about 2,693 (probability of 2,784 or more by chance alone: 0.04).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 20,308 sequences of יוידע across every skip (2–76,212) — about what chance alone gives (about 21,224).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 13 — at Genesis 20:5, reading forward.
The longest skip at which יוידע was found in the Torah is 76,053 — at Genesis 1:12, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 20,308 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.
