In the Torah

The Torah holds 2,486 sequences of לודיים across every skip (2–60,969) — about what chance alone gives (about 2,679).

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 8 — at Genesis 40:20, reading backward.

The longest skip at which לודיים was found in the Torah is 60,275 — at Genesis 2:15, reading forward; a spelling of 6 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 60,969.

Examples across the range

5 of the 2,486 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.
