Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 4 letters (2–101,616), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 34,647 found · chance alone about 35,504 (probability of 34,647 or more by chance alone: 1.00).

In the Torah

Across every skip (2–101,616), מעוך appears 369,356 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 369,946, so the count is in line with chance.

The shortest skip at which מעוך appears in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 29:32, reading forward.

The longest skip at which מעוך was found in the Torah is 101,593 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 369,356 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.
