In the Torah
Across every skip (2–76,212), קתרין appears 5,818 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 6,008, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 5 — at Genesis 23:2, reading backward.
The longest skip at which קתרין was found in the Torah is 75,802 — at Genesis 1:9, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 5,818 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.
