In the Torah
Across every skip (2–101,616), יטור appears 121,626 times in the Torah — 7.6% more than the 112,995 chance alone would give; the probability of 121,626 or more by chance alone is 3.7 × 10⁻¹⁴².
The shortest skip at which יטור appears in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 5:19, reading backward.
The longest skip at which יטור was found in the Torah is 101,373 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 121,626 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.
