In the Torah

Across every skip (2–60,969), מאטווי appears 954 times in the Torah — 14% more than the 834 chance alone would give; the probability of 954 or more by chance alone is 2.7 × 10⁻⁵.

The shortest skip at which מאטווי appears in the Torah is 54 — at Exodus 8:1, reading forward.

The longest skip at which מאטווי was found in the Torah is 59,882 — at Deuteronomy 33:13, reading backward; a spelling of 6 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 60,969.

Examples across the range

5 of the 954 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.
