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: 19,553 found · chance alone about 19,887 (probability of 19,553 or more by chance alone: 0.99).
In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for מארק, and ספיץ has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
Across every skip (2–101,616), מארק appears 200,766 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 207,222, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which מארק appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 3:23, reading forward.
The longest skip at which מארק was found in the Torah is 101,493 — at Deuteronomy 34:10, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 200,766 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.
