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: 460 found · chance alone about 483 (probability of 460 or more by chance alone: 0.86).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 3,982 sequences of יועזר across every skip (2–76,212), 4.5% above what chance alone gives (about 3,810); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0029 by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 7 — at Genesis 23:12, reading forward.

The longest skip at which יועזר was found in the Torah is 75,799 — at Genesis 1:20, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range

5 of the 3,982 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.
