In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), כרם appears 8,702,735 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 8,926,383, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which כרם appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 1:30, reading forward.
The longest skip at which כרם was found in the Torah is 152,318 — at Deuteronomy 34:10, reading backward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.
A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 8,926,383 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 8,702,735 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.
