At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 1,143,648 found · chance alone about 1,145,104 (probability of 1,143,648 or more by chance alone: 0.91).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 17,905,807 sequences of מנו across every skip (2–152,424), 0.9% above what chance alone gives (about 17,748,620); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 4.3 × 10⁻³⁰⁴ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 1:8, reading forward.
The longest skip at which מנו was found in the Torah is 152,390 — at Deuteronomy 34:12, 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 17,748,620 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 17,905,807 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.
